1.......How would you like to explain Eliot's concept of Tradition? Do you agree with it?

                                                   Eliot and I'd like to ask you that it Eliot is one of the seminal of the of the 20 the century.First of all I.A.Richards the twentieth century literary criticism begins with I. A.Richards and T.S.Eliot important works. While afterwards in the schools of now criticism we should remember three porsonsithree critics, who are very important and who are they ? First is Allan Tate whose important works is "Tension in poetry" J.C.Ransom famous work is " The New literature "and third is it I don't make mistake then it is cieanth Brooks whose famous work language of paradox. Is that the same as the language of poetry is the language paradox? Eliot own words that he wrote in the " Preface to for Lancelot Andrews" 1928 he that he is a classiest in literature. 

And Eliot is decided in to 3 Parts 

1 he said that he is classical in literature
2 he said that I am royalist 
3 he said that I am in Anglo Catholic class

2.......What do you understand by Historical Sense? (Use these quotes to explain your understanding)

• The historical sense involves a perception, not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence"
• This historical sense, which is a sense of the timeless as well as of the temporal and of the timeless and of the temporal together, is what makes a writer traditional. 

                                  while readind part one of Traditional and the Individual talent, the learners may he confused regarding T.S.Eliot concept of rendition , whether he uses this term with positive connection or negative.

                                     Eliot mentions it , Eliot Eliot mentions that one means tradition often . in the 'Sense of the traditional' and traditional especially Eliot speaking from a modern critic's point of view , there is always this tension between somebody being traditional and somebody is modern as it modern automatically means good and traditional automatically moans not so good. Realized that Eliot is actually criticizing the romantics with their groat dial of emphasis on the individuals ' The writer with history on his bones ' Eliot says should write with history in his bones , and ' Eliot is very euricontric in his notion ' 
So tradition cannot be neglected Tradition and individual go together.

3..........What is the relationship between “tradition” and “the individual talent,” according to the poet T. S. Eliot?

" Some can absorb knowledge, the more tardy must sweat for it , Shakespeare acquired more essential history from Plutarch than most men could from the whole British museum "

As we just discussed in the immortality previous section that Eliot demands from his poets as we'll as from his readers a wide reading. What he also then finds is that is that Shakespeare soems to be unexceptional because it he says that every one has to be very well read every creative artist and then coming down to the modern readers.

It we look at Shakespeare blograihy , we find that there is no motion that Shakespeare went to any university.Mathew Arnold in the essay called Function of criticism at the present Time .'groat opochs of creativity' doesn't come often and he mentions .Critics have a very important role to play . critics should provide fresh ideas to the authors . 

4...........Explain: "Some can absorb knowledge, the more tardy must sweat for it. Shakespeare acquired more essential history from Plutarch than most men could from the whole British Museum".

 This indeed is very interesting . In fact this essay becomes one of the very interesting essays because early in the twentieth century, it then tries to brins in the elements of science and the vigor of science into humanities and arts 

.
T.S.Eliot refers to is the laboratory the formation of sulfurle acid , which is our H2SO4 , Now in order that sulturle acid forms , it requires ingredients sulfur triexide , SC3.
Now It's interesting that the creative process since long if we look at 

#) Plato in our earlier units , Plato thought that poets create through a grlp of frenzy.
#) Aristotle deferred and he says , no poets make something , they create something .
#) Dryden in his preiace to aunus mirabilis , which is a very significant preface for Dryden as a critic , he captured the creative precess in three different stages.

5...........Explain: "Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation is directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry"

T.S.Eliot a very short name . Tradition and Individual talent a long title but the essays very shot but the critical , pronouncements contained in this essay have far- reaching consequences for the 20 the century critics .
First he denounces the romantic criticism . 2 he puts emphasis on tradition and individual turn and third . 3. he declared the death of water so Essay is divided into three parts in the First Section of the essay earlier talks about tradition he defines tradition and examines the relationship of any particular point more quiet to the poetic tradition in which that point works are in which point is written in the Second Part Eliot talks about relationship between the appointment the going and in the Third Parties you said it as a TED talks about the shift Indian from the author to the text as you said the the death of the other not the physical not the a physical one but the biographical element in work and he shifts the emphasis and he puts the text in the center.

Offer Eliot served it says are very sungnificant 
1) His of tradition 
2) Second section he disapproves the romatic criticism 
3) The principle of the New criticism are barsicaly verbal 
4) stresses the need for concentrating on the close reading of the text and begin the new criticism as we know it today.

6...........How would you like to explain Eliot's theory of ddepersonalization? You can explain with the help of chemical reaction in presence of catalyst agent, Platinum.

The theory of depersonalization of honest criticism and sensitive appreciations directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry theory of depersonalization is chemical process.

7........Explain: " 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."

According to Eliot poet write poetry not realize his emotion but he want to escape from his emotion 

8............Write two points on which one can write critique on 'T.S. Eliot as a critic'.

 T.S.Eliot as critic and he given some ideas to understanding new criticism to understanding in another way . New criticism is totally different from previous one because new criticism does not includes plot , diction and characters.
