Ezra Pound in 1913

• Harold Monro founds the Poetry Bookshop in London
• Ezra Pound travels to London to meet William Butler Yeats, whom he considered "the only poet worthy of serious study"; from that year until 1916, the two men wintered in the Stone Cottage at Ashdown Forest, with Pound nominally acting as secretary to the older poet
• January and March — Three poems of Hilda Doolittle appear in the January issue of Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, submitted by Ezra Pound, the magazine's "foreign editor" and a close associate of Doolittle. The March 1913 issue of the magazine also contained Pound's "A Few Don'ts by an Imagiste" and F. S. Flint's essay Imagisme. This publication history meant that this London-based movement had its first readership in the United States.
• The New Freewoman, a literary magazine, begins publication in June but becomes defunct in December. Dora Marsden owned it; Rebecca West edited it at first, then Ezra Pound took over as editor; it succeeded The Freewoman and would be succeeded by The Egoist
• Founding of The Glebe a literary magazine edited by Alfred Kreymborg and Man Ray; it will cease publication in 1914 after 10 issues.
• Pound — who had heard about The Glebe from Kreymborg's friend John Cournos^[1] — sent Kreymborg the manuscript of Des Imagistes in the summer ^[2] and this famous first anthology of Imagism was published as the fifth issue of The Glebe^[3]
• Jose Martínez Ruiz, commonly known as Azorín, came up with the name "Generation of '98" this year, referring to the novelists, poets, essayists, and philosophers active in Spain at the time of the Spanish-American War (1898 and alluding to the moral, political, and social crisis produced by Spain's defeat in that war. Writing mostly after 1910, the group reinvigorated Spanish letters, revived literary myths and broke with classical schemes of literary genres. In politics, members of the movement often justified radicalism and rebellion.
