Imagism is a literary movement initiated and put into practice by some British and American poets from 1909 to 19 17. It was a branch of symbolism literature movement prevailing in the western world at that time. Its purpose is to ask the poet to vividly express things with vivid, accurate, implicit and highly concentrated images, and to integrate the poet's instantaneous thoughts and feelings into poetry. It opposes comments and sighs. The appearance of Imagism was originally a subversion of the poetic style at that time, and the representative figure was ezra pound.
