Description

Explore the paradox at the heart of T. S. Eliot's literary criticism in this essential scholarly work. First published in 1985, this Routledge study examines how Eliot's complex relationship with Romanticism evolved throughout his career, from his early years through his scholarly maturity. Despite his public dismissal of Romantic principles in his critical essays, Eliot never fully rejected Romanticism as a significant literary issue. This analysis goes beyond surface-level critique to reveal the anti-traditional elements embedded within Eliot's philosophy of tradition itself. The book includes detailed examination of The Waste Land, unpacking the poem's layers of meaning, context and cultural significance. Perfect for students, scholars and literature enthusiasts seeking deeper understanding of modernist literary theory and the tensions between tradition and innovation that defined early twentieth-century criticism.

Key Features

Analyses Eliot's critical approach to Romanticism across his entire scholarly career, tracing how his understanding evolved from adolescence through mature academic study.

Provides in-depth examination of The Waste Land, revealing how Romantic elements operate within this cornerstone modernist poem.

Part of the Routledge Library Editions series, preserving important twentieth-century literary scholarship for contemporary readers.

Explores the paradox of how tradition itself contains anti-traditional elements, central to understanding Eliot's literary philosophy.

Essential resource for literary theory students, critics and researchers examining modernism and the Romantic legacy in twentieth-century literature.
