Description

This copy of T.S. Eliot’s seminal work “The Sacred Wood” is a well-preserved exemplar of one of the most influential literary criticism collections of the 20th century. Published in 1920, this volume solidified Eliot’s reputation as a leading voice in modernist poetry and criticism. The essays within, including the famous “Tradition and the Individual Talent,” offer profound insights into the nature of poetry, the role of the poet, and the importance of tradition in the literary canon. Eliot’s erudite yet accessible prose challenged prevailing attitudes toward poetry, advocating for a more impersonal, objective approach that prioritized the work itself over the personality of the author. “The Sacred Wood” is a landmark text that shaped the course of literary theory and remains a essential read for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of modernist literature. This well-preserved copy offers collectors and readers alike the opportunity to engage with Eliot’s revolutionary ideas in their original context.
