الأركان الأساسية لنظريات إليوت في النقد ونماذج تطبيقية

Abstract

This article aims at clarifying T.S. Eliot ideas and attitudes of criticism. It’s based on several aspects: social, historical and cultural.

T.S. Eliot successfully reviews the various stages of the development of his ideas pertaining to criticism.

These literary theories in criticism are a collection of his ideas included and involved in the different articles he published on criticism and poetry. The critic is essentially in dire need of being exposed and aware of the different literary trends. He needs to have a wide knowledge on literature and criticism in order to possess the skills of analyzing the literary work and showing the bright sides of the creative work of the writers.

The critic is required to benefit from the positive aspects of the heritage of the past generations because of its significance in shaping out his professional personality and enriching his arsenal of knowledge in literature and criticism.

Criticism, in its comprehensive sense, is the exposure of the reader to the creativity of the author. It emphasis, in T.S. Eliot point of view, its values and highlights the points of strengths and weakness.
