Abstract

The Mind of T. S. Eliot
Hazlitt, Henry | October 5, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on works of T. S. Eliot and the book "Selected Essays. 1917-1932." Eliot has one of the most curious and interesting minds of the present age. It would doubtless be absurd to imply that he has a split personality, in any pathological sense, but one finds it difficult to discuss his work until one has divided him into three Eliots: the poet, the critic, and the philosopher. One of the difficulties in dealing with Eliot is that, while he is fond of paradoxes, he enunciates them so solemnly that one never knows how literally he takes them himself, or even whether he actually intends to be paradoxical.
