This document appears to be a student paper discussing T.S. Eliot's views on tradition and individual talent. It covers Eliot's perspective that a poet's work is influenced by the larger literary tradition that came before them. The paper also summarizes some criticism of Eliot's views, including that his focus on European tradition was Euro-centric and that his choices in defining the literary canon were subjective.
