章節(jié)摘錄

　　Eliot addressed his new concern with the relation of literature to fields such as religion and politics in a Criterion essay in January 1926，“The Idea　of a Literary Review.” The essay dismisses “pure literature” as a “chimera of sensation.” Even a literary journal should include material relating to general ideas in history， archaeology， anthropology， and the physical　sciences.In 1926， his Criterion “Commentary” notes that the dispossessed artist， who finds the age‘s formlessness hampering his work， has been　“driven to examining the elements in the situation - political， social， philo-sophical or religious - which frustrate his art.”8　　This steadily increasing concern with the political， social， and religious issues of his age was driving Eliot himself toward a commitment that no merely literary tradition could inspire. Under the prodding of his former reacher Paul Elmer More in 1927， Eliot decided to “come out into the open” about the religious beliefs that were guiding his development （TCC， p. 15）.　Thus in the preface to his brief volume For Lancelot Andrewes （1928）， sub- titled “Essays on Style and Order，” he declared his orientation as “classicist in Iiterature， royalist in politics， and anglo-catholic in religion” （p. ix）. All three stands affirmed his belief in traditional order， but the key one of course referred to his 1927 conversion to the Christian faith， which indeed gave him a principle of order “outside the self.”　　……
