About the Book
T. S. Eliot's advocacy of "impersonality" as a literary ideal in Tradition and the Individual Talent had an immeasurable impact on Modernist literature and continues to resonate today.Book Synopsis
"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. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things."
T. S. Eliot's advocacy of "impersonality" as a literary ideal in Tradition and the Individual Talent had an immeasurable impact on Modernist literature and continues to resonate today. An incisive (and controversial) account of individual artists' relation to their forebears, this essay remains an outstanding work of critical prose.About the Author
