Abstract |
In "Tradition and the Individual Talent" (1919), T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) asserted that to evaluate poetry properly, we should consider the poetry itself rather than the poet. Prior to writing this, he... had decided to live in England and engage in literature under the influence of Ezra Pound (1885-1972), and it was Pound's influence that stimulated Eliot to make this claim. His assertion indicates how he attempted to justify his life in England. However, Eliot also shows that he is strongly conscious of his place in his family in America, as well as of his talent of a poet.show more
