Description
Eliot's concept of the objective correlative has been widely quoted, but rarely thoroughly examined. This book provides a detailed analysis of Eliot's approach to literary criticism and its roots in late 19th century French thought. F.R. Eliot's theory of the objective correlative is based on the idea that a poet must balance sensory input with intellectual processing to create meaningful poetry. The result is not a single word, but rather a scene or chain of events. This approach was influenced by thinkers such as Gautier and Gourmont, who shaped Eliot's terminology. While Eliot's theory may seem straightforward, its implications are complex. The book explores the tension between the poet's intention and the reader's response, highlighting the difficulties in interpreting poetic meaning.
