Read or re-read "Tradition and the Individual Talent." Read all of it, but focus your thinking during and after reading on paragraphs 9 and 17. How does Eliot challenge your thinking about art and poetry in these paragraphs? Can you explain what these paragraphs mean -- what is the emotional content of poetry, according to Eliot? How do these paragraphs affect how you read "Prufrock" or "The Hollow Men"?
As you know, the entire text of "Tradition and the Individual Talent" that we will discuss is embedded on the right side of this page.
