ANALYSIS OF T.S ELIOT’S
STATEMENT ABOUT JOHN MILTON
BY: PRAKRUTI BHATT
T.S ELIOT’S “THE METAPHYSICAL POETS”
A review of critical fervour.
First use of the word sensibility by Eliot.
A defence against the derogatory and often abusive use of the term metaphysical.
Dr Johnson’s accusations.
SENSIBILITY AND ITS DISSOCIATION
• Sensibility= Thought + Feeling
• Late Elizabethans and early Jacobians possessed this sensibility. The later poets either just felt or just
thought. – Dissociation of Sensibility
• Reasons- Dryden and Milton.
• “Each of these men performed certain poetic functions so magnificently well that the magnitude of the
effect concealed the absence of others.”
• “While the language became more refined the feeling became more crude.”
MASTER OF DICTION- JOHN MILTON
• “Milton is a master of diction but disregards the soul.”- Eliot
• Use of language in Paradise Lost- Ornate, contextual, intellectual, use of other languages such as Latin,
Greek, etc. [eg: the tone of book 9 changes as it nears the Fall, the description of characters like Eve and
Satan are full of comparisons with Greek characters, a lot of allusions used to describe the natural
atmosphere.]
DOES MILTON DISREGARD THE SOUL?
• Paradise Lost is known for its humanist perspective to the story of Genesis and the consequent “fall of
man”.
• If it is just about thinking and feeling, I think Milton does both. Hence not a cause for the dissociation of
sensibility.
• Then what is the reason behind Eliot’s statement?
