The 1932-33 Norton Lectures are among the best and most important of Eliot's critical writings. Tracing the rise of literary self-consciousness from the Elizabethan period to his own day, Eliot does not simply examine the relation of criticism to poetry, but invites us to "start with the supposition that we do not know what poetry is, or what it does or ought to do, or of what use it is; and try to find out, in examining the relation of poetry to criticism, what the use of both of them is." Eliot begins with the appearance of poetry criticism in the age of Dryden, when poetry became the province of an intellectual aristocracy rather than part of the mind and popular tradition of a whole people. Wordsworth and Coleridge, in their attempt to revolutionize the language of poetry at the end of the eighteenth century, made exaggerated claims for poetry and the poet, culminating in Shelley's assertion that "poets are the unacknowledged legislators of mankind." And, in the doubt and decaying moral definitions of the nineteenth century, Arnold transformed poetry into a surrogate for religion. By studying poetry and criticism in the context of its time, Eliot suggests that we can learn what is permanent about the nature of poetry, and makes a powerful case for both its autonomy and its pluralism in this century.

我讀過的最好的文學批評之一。先前讀他那篇Dante時所感覺到的方嚮沒有錯,在他眼裏,不僅詩歌,批評也是屬於時代的,雖然不易劃分,但他們總是帶著自己時代對文本的欲望進入文本,和先輩不同的視角和目的。我敬佩艾略特的謙遜,同時覺得他自己這個對詩歌曆史和客觀化的立場反應齣的東西值得玩味。
評分無法評價,然而這種無法評價的本然也是艾略特詩評的尺度之一。
