I think that Pound edited TWL as a work of modernism so that it more
completely conformed to Pound's notions of modernism.  End of story,
although a study of Pound's editing from this point of view would be very
interesting.   

Pound certainly did not take the original (?) draft of TWL on its own terms.
He made substantial changes to both its style and content.

The idea of Pound as a psychoanalyst is sort of scary.
