T.S. Eliot's essay "Tradition and Individual Talent" was published in 1919. The essay discusses Eliot's view of tradition, depersonalization in art, and how a poet's sense of tradition and impersonality are complementary. Eliot believes that every writer is part of a tradition spanning other dead poets and artists. A knowledge of this tradition plays a vital role in developing one's own talent, while also allowing one to write with a sense of the whole of literature.

Depersonalization is the action of detaching the personal self from something. In the context of “Tradition and the Individual Talent,” depersonalization is the process the traditional poet goes through to make their poetry less personal and more in keeping with Eliot’s Impersonal Theory instead. The poet depersonalizes their poetry by working up complex arrangements of common emotions instead of their personal emotions. The poet further depersonalizes their work by not using it to express their own feelings and by remaining neutral in the entire writing process. In depersonalizing their poetry, they become more traditional, because they are conscious not of themselves but of the whole history of poetry.
This presentation is about the introduction of the 19th century literature and some of the prominent authors in the period including William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Byshhe Shelley, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Matthew Arnolds.

3. Concludes the debate by saying that poet’s
sense of tradition and the impersonality of
poetry are complementary things.
4. (1) Concept of tradition:-
- Every individual writer is a part of tradition.
Writer and Artist can not Escape from dead
poet and artist.
- Knowledge of tradition plays vital role in the
development of personal talent.
- The historical sense involves a perception, Not
only of the pastness of the past but of its
presence.
- Art never imporves, but that the material of art
is never quite the same.
5. (2) Theory of depersonalization:-
-“Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation is
directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry”.
-The more perfect the artist, the more completely
separate in him will be the man who suffers and
the mind which creates.
-It is not the expression of personality but an
escape from personality.
6. (3) Conclude the debate:-
-The emotion of art is impersonal.
-The poet can not reach this impersonality without
surrendering himself wholly to the work to be
done.
