Criticar al crítico y otros escritos

Rate this book
En este volumen, que se abre con el ensayo que da título al libro, en el que el propio autor se toma como objeto de reflexión, se incluyen unos cuantos ejemplos de la penetrante capacidad de Eliot como crítico literario (sobre Poe y Valéry, sobre Dante, sobre Ezra Pound, sobre el "verso libre") y de su interés por fenómenos culturales y sociales ligados con el lenguaje, como la evolución del idioma norteamericano, el papel de la enseñanza del latín y el griego y las curiosas características de la literatura política.

Thomas Stearns Eliot was a poet, dramatist and literary critic. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948 "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry." He wrote the poems The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, The Waste Land, The Hollow Men, Ash Wednesday, and Four Quartets; the plays Murder in the Cathedral and The Cocktail Party; and the essay Tradition and the Individual Talent. Eliot was born an American, moved to the United Kingdom in 1914 (at the age of 25), and became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39.

Eliot es el primer crítico al que realmente me dieron ganas de leer. Es muy interesante lo que plantea y lo hace de forma tan amena e incluso divertida que en ningún momento me aburrí o me pareció una lectura tediosa.
