Q4:For T.S.Eliot,what is the value and significance of tradition:why is it useful?


If we approach a poet without prejudice  we shall find that not only the best
But the most individual parts of his work may b those in which dead poet  his ancestors assert their immorality most vigorously Second step
Tradition doesn't not mean a blind adherence to the ways of past.
This would b mere slavish imitation,a mere repitition
In tradition  ,the sense of is to be discouraged   3rd step
Tradition can't be inherited.
It can be obtained by hard labour
This labour is the labour of knowing the past writer
4point
Tradition can b obtained by those who have historical sense
He thinks that past exists in the present
Historical sense is the sense of timeless and the temporal together
Historical sense makes a writer traditional
A writer who have the sense of tradition is fully conscious of his own generation ,his place in the present,at the same time his relationship with the writer of the past.
Point 5
Compare and contrast with his work with the work of the past
Concept of tradition is dynamic one not static
It is constantly changing ,growing and becoming different from what it is.
Comparison based on facts without any discrimination not particular age or writer
Point6
According to Eliot
Knowledge does not merely mean a bookish knowledge
Acquiring knowledge different from person to person
In the end ,it's duty of every poet to acquire,best of his ability,the knowledge of past and consciousness though out his career.
