The essay is an out come of the controversy that created in the year 1919. It is actually the response ti Murray's essay on Eliot's essay of “ Romanticism and Tradition”

In this particulate essay he shuckses the relationship between past and present in world literature. Superior to nature as both of them are dependent get independent. Any writer and his or her importune his considered by looking into the tradition.

According  to Eliot criticism is analysis of the works of literary nature criticism has to always be about something and its goat is to give proper explain at I on about all literary text.

Sometimes critics differ from arch other because of there personal biases Eliot believes that all the critics should cooperate in order to criticism a particulate text.

In the second part of this essay create talks about marais views on classism and romanticism. According to made, a classical writer can not be a romentic writer and a romantic writes can not be a classical writer.

Eliot does not subscribe to this view and does not believe that English people are romantics and French people are classics. In the liter part of the essay Eliot discusses the problems in criticism and goes against the view of Mather Arnold….” there is a lot of difference between creative writers and critical writing “ Mathew Arnold differentiate between critical and creative writing.

It may happen that there are differences in opinion but all the difference this should be respected or should be worked upon in else connection.

The artist who believes in the inner voice is not only aware about the tradition and the wisdom and the experiences but also of the present which can be extremely advantageous.

In the fourth part as we have written eorlies, there is no difference between creative writes and a critical writes. Both of them are almost the same as the later part of the hereabout of an author is in comparing the critical labor and any writer who can criticism his own work is the highest kind of criticism.
