T.S. Eliot's Tradition and Individual Talent

 Hello Friends!

I am share views on T.S. Eliot essay "Tradition and Individual Talent" based on sin shorts video. This task given by our prof. Barad Sir. Let discuss,

First i understood the T.S. Eliot contemporary critic and inThe 20th century is two most famous name are:

- I.A. Richards 

-T.S. Eliot.

Both works is very important in this field of criticism. anothers critic like: 

- first is Allan Tale, whose important work is Tension in Poetry.

- second is J.C. Ransom, whose famous work is The New Literature. And

- third is Cleanth Brooks, whose famous work Language of Paradox.

Next, I learn the concept of tradition and how to associated tradition on individual talent.  Tradition which cannot quite a few thing and individual is a living a life, believed in certain principles and carry out a way or life. 

According to Eliot:

"No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone, his significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artist"

This is brief introduction of some video's and after deeply understand though video on  those questions given by the task and i completed more interpretation on those answers in below. Let's see those questions:

#what is the relationship between "Tradition" and the "Individual Talent" according to the poet T.S. Eliot?

Dictionary meaning of Tradition:-

"The transmission of customs beliefs from generation to generation or the face of being passed on in this way"

This essay divided in three sections:

- Tradition and its importance of historical sense.

- Poetic process- not an expression but an escape from personality.

- Shifts attention from author to text.

First part Eliot examines the relationship of any particular poem or poet. In the poetic tradition in which that poets works or in which that poem is written. Second part he talks about relationship between the poem and the poet. And third part he talks about the shift in the emphasis from the author to the text.

Eliot mention that one means tradition often, in the sense of the traditional. He speaking from the a modern critic point of view. There is tention between some favour of morden and some favour of tradition. Traditional means it nation, country to try to preserve their tradition, culture and handed down from generation to generation. 

In this essay he uses such words as surrendering to the tradition, sacrificing one from self and those come again as an opposite to romantic. He puts great deal of responsibility however on the individual author and like Eliot himself. Read his poem u find the in a way become aware of anthropology, French symbolist poetry. Individual talent does not cut itself away from the tradition. Eliot as  is mentioned in the essay is already and existing monument and individual. Individual make his/her own place within that existing long history tradition. All this things According to Eliot.

#Explain "Some can absorb knowledge, the more tardy must sweet for it, Shakespeare acquired more essential histories from plutarch that most men could from the whole British museum".

This quote given by T.S. Eliot. He described the Shakespeare view. Shakespeare say everyone has tobe very well read, every creative artist and coming down to the modern reader. He biography there is no mention that he went to university. Shakespeare has not higher education. Eliot anticipated that somebody with question him. Eliot come to say Shakespeare seems to have then absorbed his age and not only his age from chroniclers and historians writing in his age in english. Eliot say a littel more than Shakespeare would become the true individual that the Romantics were taking about.

# How would you like to explain Eliot's theory of depersonalization? You can explain with the help of chamical reaction in presence of catalyst agent, platinum.

I discuss to the T.S. Eliot making some reference to a chemical reaction. It is very interesting because it tries to bring in the element of science and vigor of science into humanities and arts.

Eliot's refers to in the laboratory. The formation of sulfuric acid, which is our H2SO4. It requires ingredients sulfur trioxide, so3 and water but it most important of equation and catalyst not take place. The catalyst during his time was platinum. Today it called the vanadium is being. Eliot is mentioning this is a strip of platinum that has also there and reaction otherwise this will not formed. He say reaction and how to reaction to the mind of the poet, the creative mind. Which is the man who suffers and the mind that creates a different. It u read the essay and this is distance that a poet has to create according to Eliot.

 To sum up the T.S. Eliot essay on Tradition and Individual Talent.  Here we find my interpretation of those questions and answers.

Thank you..
