Between Fixity And Flux: A Study Of The Concept Of Poetry In The Criticism Of T. S. Elliot - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
""Between Fixity and Flux: A Study of the Concept of Poetry in the Criticism of T.S. Eliot"" by Mary Cleophas Costello is an in-depth analysis of the critical writings of T.S. Eliot, one of the most influential poets and critics of the 20th century. The book explores Eliot's ideas about poetry, its purpose, and its place in modern society, and how these ideas evolved over time. The author examines Eliot's views on tradition, language, form, and the role of the poet in society, as well as his engagement with other poets and critics of his time. She also looks at the ways in which Eliot's ideas were influenced by his personal experiences and the historical and cultural context of his era. Through a close reading of Eliot's essays, reviews, and poems, Costello argues that Eliot's concept of poetry is situated between two opposing forces: fixity and flux. On the one hand, Eliot believed in the importance of tradition and the need for poetry to be grounded in a stable and enduring cultural heritage. On the other hand, he also recognized the need for poetry to be dynamic and responsive to the changing social and cultural landscape of modernity. Overall, ""Between Fixity and Flux"" offers a nuanced and insightful exploration of Eliot's critical thought and its significance for contemporary literary studies. It will be of interest to scholars and students of modernist literature, poetry, and literary criticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
