Eliot’s definition of Criticism:
Eliot wrote “The function of criticism.” To express his
views on criticism as “the connection and on the methodology it should adopt.
He defines criticism as “The cementation and exposition of works of art by
means of written words.” Criticism unlike literature is not an auto telic
activity, it is dependent on literature. The purpose of criticism is the
elucidation of works of art and the correction of taste.”
Purpose and definition of the art
“Poetry lies at the
centre of the literary experience because it is the form that most clearly
asserts the specificity of literature"
Traditional and Individual Talent
T.S Eliot’s “Traditional
and Individual Talent” is a very critical essay or they published in 1919 and
20th century. They can have poetry, drama, and the function of
criticism. Metaphysical poet, frontiers of criticism etc. T. s Eliot’s is a
very critical writer, and there poem or poetry is a very critical or hard. The
essay divided in to three parts.
Ø
The first gives us Eliot’s concept of tradition
Ø
The second exemplifies his theory of
depersonalization and poetry
Ø
The third part he concludes the debate by saying
that the poet’s sense of poetry are complementary things.
The First gives us Eliot’s concept of tradition
Eliot’s tradition is a much in the wider significant. There are a very
critical or very power full writer or it can be obtain by a hard labor and, the
labor of the knowing past writers. They can have a critical or very perspective
writer or he is create a historical sense is a very sophisticated or linguistic
of a way. But they involve in to a past or present literature. They cannot copy
in the tradition and very different of the Eliot's literary tradition.
· In English Literary Criticism ‘Tradition’ is Used As A Phrase Of
Censure
Eliot’s language
is a very critical poet or different form of the literature. In this aspect of
his work try to individual and peculiar of that man. Traditional can be
obtained only by those who have the history sense. Their knowledge is a very
critical or perspective of the way. Eliot’s tradition and individual talent are
not separate entity. He brought a great deal of bold and original thinking to
English criticism. Eliot is
conscious of the criticism that will be made against his theory of tradition.
Because there are very different writing or very perspective of way. It was to
be pointed out that his theory requires much learning and prejudice, or they
can have a knowledgeable man, and knowledge does not mean differs from person.
The English literary critic does not give due weight and
consideration to tradition in evaluating the writers of the past and in
appreciating the poets of the present. He uses “tradition” in a derogatory
sense .Eliot’s sense of a past or present time a creation or there are a
critical not emarginated poet, and there journey is a very different or beautiful
of the way.
· CRITICISM IS
INDISPENSABLE FOR CREATIVE ACTIVITY
The creative activity is a create by a
Eliot’s and they can have a critic writer. Just as no it is a easy criticism
but is a domestic part of a criticism and significant of the way. English nation in Eliot’s opinion suffers from a
similar unawareness of the short coming and limitation of its critical genius.
Eliot’s Greek, Latin or French evolution of the traditional and individual
talent. He is a English man or very famous critical artist. The English are
familiar with the critical writing in French often leads an Englishman to
believe that the French people are more critical. Eliot strives to dispel this
fallacy by emphasizing the importance of criticism which, according to him, is
as indispensable to creative activity as breathing is to life. We can have a
artist or comparative and sophisticated in the way. It expresses the feelings
and emotions and intellectual reaction of a reader in relation to the book he
reads. Criticism is a literary and criticism. Just
as the past directs the present, the present modifies the past.
·
THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADITION TO INDIVIDUAL TALENT
Eliot is a English man and there
are a different type of the talent. He is a most important part of a art and
sophisticated talent. The study poet with out bias or prejudice, there are most
important individual work in the dead poet and vigorously. In these aspects of his
work they try to find out what is individual, what is the peculiar essence of
that man. This knowledge is a tradition in the development of the virtual.
Eliot’s historical sense is a very good or there create to a past and present
literature. They try to find out the difference of the part with his
contemporaries and predecessors, especially with his immediate predecessors.
They try to find out something that can be separated in order to be
enjoyed.
THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIPAND INTERDEPENDENCE OF THE PAST AND
PRESENT
Eliot’s
creative writer or they can have language is a historical and past and present.
He is a important of a past and present contradict nary and significant of the
way. According
to T.S. Eliot, an ideal critic must have a “highly developed sense of facts.” No poet or artist of any
kind has his full meaning and significance alone. His importance, his
appreciation is the appreciation of his kinship with the poets and artists of
the past generations, you cannot value him alone; you must set him for contrast
and comparison, among the poets and writers of the past. Eliot is a appreciated
of a poet they can have very impulsive of the domestic writer. This is a
principle of aesthetic, and not merely of historical criticism. We can say that
the immoral and individual talents are not separate entity. The historical sense involves a perception
“not only of the pastiness of the part” but also of opts presence .There are
time line in a past or present time, and Eliot’s history is a romantic
literature. They can have a important to work his a individual talent. He realizes the past exists in present, and the past and
present form one simultaneous order.
LITERATURE AS A CONTINUITY
Traditional and individual talent
essay is a very different or there are a conscious of a present of a new part
of a literature. We can say have a main topic is a poetry and art, and art is a
most important of the critic writer. The feature of poetry is immense, because
in poetry our race. Eliot points out a significant difference between the past
and the present. Because they cannot copy in to a literary criticism or
sophisticated in a way. He says that there is a distinction between knowledge and
pedantry. “Some can absorb knowledge; the tardier must sweat for it. Finally Which
has a vital part to play in the process of poetic creation.
“Art
for life’s sake
Art for art’s
sake”
The Second his Theory Of Depersonalization
The second part of a romantic
subjective and he is a evocation of the way. Eliot’s explains this process of
depersonalization and its relation to the sense of tradition by comparing it to
a chemical process- And they can have a combination to a Oxygen and Sculpture
dioxide, and contradctionary on way. The platinum itself is apparently
unaffected: has remained inert, neutral, and unchanged. The mind of the poet is
the shred of platinum. Eliot’s suffering man and there are a different artists or
famous man. It may partly or exclusively operate upon the experience of the
him.
·
Emotion and Feeling
Depersonalization is a connect to idea of tradition. He is a different
art, the emotion or experience of the artist. They are the element
which entering the presence of the poet’s mind and acting as a catalyst, go to
the making of a work of art. Literature is a imaginative or personified of a
way. Elites concept is a tradition is a very immoral or personified of the
domestic of a arts. Thus the poet’s mind is a
receptacle for seizing and storing up numberless feeling, phrases, images,
which remain there until all the particles which can unite to form a new
compound are present together. Eliot’s experience is a very well and there are
create to other poetry. There poem or poetry are a very critical or emotional,
but language is not a easy task o a literature.
“No poet or artist of any art
has completed meaning alone."
Third part , The sense of Tradition And The Impersonality Of
Poetry
In the last
part of the traditional and individual talent. There are interest from the poem
and poetry, and language is not a very simple but a critical task of the way.
Which has its life in the poem and not in the history of the poet. Eliot’s social,
political, artist, poetic critic writer. The present moment of the past, unless he is conscious, not
of what is dead, but of what is already living” a constant and continual
awareness of tradition is very necessary for the part. History knowledge is a
very well or speculated of the way. There are critical but imaginative poet or
they cannot similar to the past or
present poetic language. The emotion of art is impersonal. On the other hand, Eliot has
a high sense of praise for "workshop criticism."
· Eliot and New Criticism
Eliot inspired and informed the movement of new criticism.
This is somewhat ironic, since he later criticized their excruciatingly
detailed analysis of texts. Eliot’s a
emotional poet but there are critical poets in a way. Epic is a high language
poem. Eliot work is a very different or critical, and artistic delight should
be bench to judge the work of literature.
“The New Critical distrust of emotion in poetry may be seen
to emerge partly from its perceived function as a teaching method and partly
from its emphasis on the objective nature of the poem”
· Criticism of Eliot’s Critical
thought
Eliot’s theory of
literary tradition has been criticized for its limited definition of what
constitutes the canon of that tradition. The critic's function is simply to guide the reader, when
a critic compares any present work of art with the past work, it should not be
just to tell which one is better or worse. There are a critic writer or very
similar to other critic language. He does not account for a non-masculine tradition. As
such, his notion of tradition stands at odds with feminist, post-colonial and
minority theories. Eliot’s since argues against those writers including to a
Chinua Achebe, he is a African writer. But they can only present to a culture
perspective. China and Eliot’s writer are very different form of the language
or criticism. There are very critical writer or sophistic in a way.
Harold bloom presents a
conception of tradition that differs from that, of Eliot. Where are believe
that the great poet or critical writer and evolution in a contradictionary manner.
He is a strong poet or very power full man in the criticism. Eliot’s death is a
1965, in a new preface called “Traditional and the Individual Talent” the most
juvenile his essay.
Conclusion
T.s
Eliot’s “Traditional and Individual Talent” is classical or there is subjective
criticism. There is use of a very different language. Eliot’s” Art of the art
sake” it is very clear to language. We can say have a very emotional or very
domestic of the way. Eliot concludes, “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion
but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an
escape from personality. He is does not rejected to the poetry emotion or
feeling but reject to the romantic theory. They can have including of a way.
Eliot’s French, Greek, Latin writer or very famous a criticism. He simply
emphasis the fact that the artist must depersonalize the emotions. The
impersonality can be achieved when the poet surrenders himself completely to
the sense of tradition .There are involve to a history sense.
well explained
