INTRODUCTION
In today’s world, the demand to learn a foreign language is increasing day by day and the study of foreign languages is of great importance in strengthening international relations and diplomatic relations. The role of literature in the process of language learning is unique. Through literary texts it is possible to study not only the language, but also the culture of other countries.
This course work entitled New styles and movements - imagism in the work of Ezra Pound. In this paper I try to analyze about imagery. Imagery is a type of language which creates a sense impression, represents an idea, and thus heighten expression. In doing the research, the writer use descriptive qualitative analytic method. The writer analyses the structure by reading the poem carefully and giving the attention for each line that contains imageries and figurative languages. The writer uses the theory of imagery and figurative of language to analyze the poem. By analyzing the structure of the poem, the writer is able to define the meaning of the lines that contain imageries. After doing the research by using the theory, there are fours types of imageries depicted in the poems. There are visual imagery, tactile imagery, organicimageries, and olfactory imagery. Ezra Pound also uses metaphor, personification, and hyperboleas figurative language. This paper explores imagism and studies the intrinsic literary features of some poems to show how the authors combine all the elements such as style, sentence structure, figures of speech and poetic diction to paint concrete and abstract images in the mind of the readers. Imagism was an early 20th century literary movement and a reaction against the Romantic and Victorian mainstreams. Imagism is known as an Anglo-American literary movement since it borrows from the English and American verse style of modern poetry. The leaders of the movement set some rules for writing imagist poems. The authors of the group believed that poets are like painters; what the painters can do with brush and dye, poets can do it with language i.e. painting pictures with words. The poems are descriptive; the poets capture the images they experience with one or more of the five senses. They believed that readers could see the realities from their eyes because the texts are like a painting. In this paper, six poems by six prominent leaders of the movement will be scrutinized according to the main principles of the formalistic approach which is the interpretation and analysis of the literary devices pertained to the concrete and abstract images drawn by the poets. The poems are: In a Station of the Metro by Ezra Pound, Autumn by T. E. Hulme, November by Amy Lowell, Oread by Hilda Doolittle (H.D.), and Bombardment by Richard Aldington.
