Kenner, William Hugh
▪ 2004

      Canadian-American literary critic (b. Jan. 7, 1923, Peterborough, Ont.—d. Nov. 24, 2003, Athens, Ga.), was a leading interpreter of American poet Ezra Pound and of Modernism in general. He was probably best known for his volume The Pound Era (1971), though his interests and book topics ranged widely—from geodesic math to cartoonist Chuck Jones and engineer and architect R. Buckminster Fuller.
