초록

T. S. Eliot is regarded as one of the greatest critics in the last century. As a critic he tends to have strict canonical standards. However, his attitude toward Tennyson seems rather favorable. Of Tennysonian canonical traits, Eliot thinks abundance, variety, and competence are the essence of Tennysonian excellence as a poet. He further feels that Tennyson is highly competent to express himself aptly whatever intention it is in his poetry and prose. It is probably because Tennyson is a master technician in poetry: his poetic language and its skills are rich and varied. He has absorbed all poetic skills, use of words, rhymes, rhythms, as in Maud and In Memoriam. Tennyson’s poetic excellence has already proved in Poems by Two Brothers co-authored with his brother, Frederick. In his criticism on Tennyson, Eliot often makes use of “great,” “wondrous,” or “master,” which he rarely uses when he studies other poets. Besides, it is rather interesting that Tennyson and Eliot are rather well compared: both use dramatic monologues while they withhold expression of personal feelings or emotion. As a poet and critic, Eliot is characterized by objective correlative, impersonality, unified sensibility, which almost parallel Tennyson’s. As a later poet, Eliot must have learned from Tennyson, a great technician of the last century.

Abstract

T. S. Eliot is regarded as one of the greatest critics in the last century. As a critic he tends to have strict canonical standards. However, his attitude toward Tennyson seems rather favorable. Of Tennysonian canonical traits, Eliot thinks abundance, variety, and competence are the essence of Tennysonian excellence as a poet. He further feels that Tennyson is highly competent to express himself aptly whatever intention it is in his poetry and prose. It is probably because Tennyson is a master technician in poetry: his poetic language and its skills are rich and varied. He has absorbed all poetic skills, use of words, rhymes, rhythms, as in Maud and In Memoriam. Tennyson’s poetic excellence has already proved in Poems by Two Brothers co-authored with his brother, Frederick. In his criticism on Tennyson, Eliot often makes use of “great,” “wondrous,” or “master,” which he rarely uses when he studies other poets. Besides, it is rather interesting that Tennyson and Eliot are rather well compared: both use dramatic monologues while they withhold expression of personal feelings or emotion. As a poet and critic, Eliot is characterized by objective correlative, impersonality, unified sensibility, which almost parallel Tennyson’s. As a later poet, Eliot must have learned from Tennyson, a great technician of the last century.
