Ezra Pound, Hilda Dolittle & Richard Allington
Correct Answer:
D. Ezra Pound, Hilda Dolittle & Richard Allington
Explanation:
The correct answer is Ezra Pound, Hilda Doolittle & Richard Aldington. The Imagist movement was established in 1912 by Ezra Pound, who famously labeled his colleagues Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) and Richard Aldington as Imagistes. While the movement was influenced by the earlier theories of T.E. Hulme regarding clarity and precision, it was Pound who formalized the group and edited its first anthology, Des Imagistes, in 1914. Other figures like Amy Lowell later took a leadership role, but the foundational trio remains Pound, Doolittle, and Aldington.
