http://dilipbarad.blogspot.in/2014/12/t-s-eliot-tradition-and-individual.html?m=1 *Thinking activity 1)  How would you like to explain Eliot's concept of Tradition? Do you agree with it?      First of all yes, I'm agree with the idea of tradition of Eliot,  his  concept of 'Tradition' is not a very favourable term with the English who generally utilize the same as a term of censure, but in simple way Eliot says about tradition that it has a three fold  significance.  Firstly, tradition cannot be inherited and involves a great deal of labour and erudition.  Secondly, it involves the historical sense which involves apperception not only of the pastness of the past, but also of its presence.  Thirdly the historical sense... write not only with his own generation in mind, but with a feeling that the whole of the literature.  2)  What do you understand by Historical Sense? As above I mentioned that historical sens...

Do you agree with Mathew Arnold's view on detachment, disinterestedness, fallaeies like historical and Personal,  Touchstone method and his definition of poetry?  I'm agree with this Arnold 's idea because when one criticise on any work this is the first need which Arnold told in his criticisms  that...critic should be like Empire who is interested in whole but see everything as witness.. Involved but not with prejudice in mind. Arnold's Touchstone Method is not 100% applicable in all the work because one can not define anything by one fragement of any work.. Another side of work can be fully different. 

Do you agree with Wordsworth's poetic creed?  First of all for give the answer of this question we have to clear about Wordsworth's poetic creed...

In the Preface to Lyrical Ballad his main ideas of a new theory of poetry, subject matter of poetry and language of poetry. Wordsworth explained his poetic concept, "The majority of the following poems are to be considered as experiments they were written chiefly with view of ascertain how far the Language of conversation in the middle and lower classes of society is adopted to the purpose of poetic pleasure. The experiment with vernacular language was not enough of a departure from the norm, the focus on simple, uneducated country people as the subject of poetry. True to traditional ballad from the poems depict realistic characters in realistic situa...
