The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Book of critical essays by T.S. Eliot, published in 1920. In it, Eliot discusses several of the issues of modernist writings of the period. The best-known essay of the collection, "Tradition and the Individual Talent," puts forth Eliot's theory of a literary tradition that comprises the whole of European literature from Homer to the present and of the relationship of the individual poet to that tradition. Another notable essay is "Hamlet and His Problems," in which Eliot expresses his theory of the OBJECTIVE CORRELATIVE, a phrase he adapted from either George Santayana or Washington Allston.
