There is also apparently “a memorial window to him in Endon church”. His papers are held at Keele.<\/p>\n

A CITY SUNSET (1908, on the back of a hotel bill)<\/p>\n

Alluring, Earth seducing, with high conceits
\nis the sunset that reigns
\nat the end of westward streets….
\nA sudden flaring sky
\ntroubling strangely the passer by
\nwith visions, alien to long streets, of Cytherea
\nor the smooth flesh of Lady Castlemaine….
\nA frolic of crimson
\nis the spreading glory of the sky,
\nheaven’s jocund maid
\nflaunting a trailed red robe
\nalong the fretted city roofs
\nabout the time of homeward going crowds
\n—a vain maid, lingering, loth to go….<\/p>\n

Update:<\/p>\n

His poetry is now most easily found in good form in the back of Canzoni; & Ripostes of Ezra Pound<\/a><\/em>, which is available online. The best biography is The Short Sharp Life of T. E. Hulme<\/em> (2012), and there is also a 1982 biography which updated an earlier one of 1938.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A volume of his Selected Writings<\/em> appeared in 2003, and the full writings are to be found collected in Speculations<\/a><\/em> (1924) and Further Speculations<\/a><\/em> (1955). There is also what appears to be a recent critical edition for universities, The Collected Writings of T. E. Hulme<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In recent years there have been a spate of book-length studies such as: T.E. Hulme and Modernism<\/em>; T. E. Hulme and the Ideological Politics of Early Modernism<\/em>; T.E.
