T. S. Eliot's literary criticism is often described as ‘the criticism of a poet'. Mr Lee asks what happens if we take that description seriously and read the criticism as if it was as much the expression of the man, it its way, as the poetry; continuous with the poetry and the preoccupations of the poetry. This essay in interpretation is an attempt to follow out such a programme and to account for the contradictions and seemingly discrepant utterances that Eliot himself left unexplained. The opening chapter offers an outline of Eliot's main ‘theories' and the connection between them, and subsequent chapters deal with critical approaches to Eliot; ‘Tradition and the Individual Talent' and impersonality; Eliot's ideas on personality; and the relation between individual personality and society.

Brian Lee's study of American fiction from 1865 to 1940 draws on a wealth of material by, amongst others, Twain, James, Dreiser, Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Faulkner. Though the works of these writers have been closely scrutinised by postwar critics in Europe and America, few attempts have yet been made to utilise the new critical approaches and theories in the service of literary history. Brian Lee does so in this book, relating the writers of the period - both major and minor - to its patterns of immense economic, social and intellectual change.

The Tales of Tranquility

Fight for valor, fight against strife, for death is only an excuse for a corrupt life.Once upon a time, there was peace between the lands of Lordship, Tranquil and Majestic. All remained well until corrupt generals and their armies developed plans to invade the lands and steal power for themselves. Before the peace was broken four young adventurers, Saldere, Rivy, Slade, and Marvin, left Lordship Isle to find the legendary axe of Baraz. The weapon was said to have great powers and if kept in good hands, could help to keep the peace.Through love, treason, war, and friendship, the peaceful inhabitants of the land tried their best to ward off the evil hordes. When they thought at last that all was peaceful, a new horde formed under the leadership of the dreadful Delacorr Rainblayde. Delacorr gathered as many of the evil hordes as he could and made a final assault on Tranquil. Tranquil's last hope to defeat the evildoers was left to a young mole and the legacy of his friends.
