Ezra Pound

Solution :

The correct option is Ezra Pound.

In 1920, the famous American modernist poet and critic Ezra Pound decided to leave London for Paris. In his correspondence and writings around this time, expressing his deep disillusionment with the post-World War I cultural and literary scene in Britain, he declared that “there is no longer any intellectual life in England.”

This statement reflected his frustration with the conservative literary establishment in London, which he felt was stagnant and hostile to the avant-garde modernist movements he championed.
