McKay was deeply influenced by various literary and artistic sources that shaped his poetry and prose. As an artist, he saw himself as a "classicist," but his favorite poet was John Keats, the acclaimed Romantic. The books he read in the library of his mentor Walter Jekyll were primarily Victorian and had a profound influence on him. However, the artists he encountered after he left Jamaica were mostly all modernists: Charlie Chaplin, D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Marcel Proust, and Ernest Hemingway. Popular culture also inspired him, especially the cinematic traditions of both Hollywood and Europe. These dual influences reflected his complicated intellectual and artistic life. Real and Imagined Worlds in Claude McKay's Poetry and Prose attempts to make sense of the poet's deep engagement with the literary and artistic influences that inspired his own writing.
