‘Hugh Selwyn Maubereley’ is a long poem by Ezra Pound that was first published in 1920. It is a long poem containing 397 lines. Pound referred to the poem as an attempt to “condense a {Henry} James novel.” Pound said that the poem was modeled on the technique used by Henry James in his fiction: it presents its subject through the medium of a character's mind or voice, a "center of consciousness" that assesses the subject in question.

The consists of eighteen short poems that can be treated as stanzas. The poem is written in past tense and is narrated from a third-person omniscient perspective. The poem is an autobiographical content in which Ezra Pound discusses his own life, failure, and success as a writer and his views on arts, literature, modernism, and other historical prospects and events. Some critics have mentioned Hugh Selwyn Mauberley as a ‘quintessential autobiography.’ Pound reached London in August 1908 and began working there. After finishing Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, he swiftly left England.

In the poem, Pound introduces E.P. and Hugh Selwyn Mauberley as fictional characters who appear to be his own alter egos. E.P. and Mauberley can be thought of as different versions of Pound. Part 2 explores Mauberley's psychological experience as a poet.
