Ezra Pound, the "poets' poet" who has been ostracised for 60 years because of his virulent anti-semitism and support for fascism, was honoured with an official blue plaque yesterday.
The plaque, from English Heritage, is a first chink of light in the cloud of infamy and disgrace which hangs over Pound's memory, although he was the godfather of literary modernism and midwife to some of the 20th century's greatest works - notably TS Eliot's poem The Waste Land.
