Tradition and The Individual Talent by T. S. Eliot

A Manifesto of Eliot’s Critical Creed The essay Tradition and Individual Talent was first published in 'The Egoist' (1919) and  later in Eliot’s first book of criticism “The Sacred Wood ”( 1 9 2 0). . The essay may be regarded as an unofficial manifesto of Eliot’s critical creed, for it contains all those critical principles from which his criticism has been derived ever since. The seeds which have been sown here come to fruition in his subsequent essays. It is a declaration of Eliot’s critical creed, and these principles are the basis of all his subsequent criticism.

To Sir, with Love by Braithwaite (B.A. III Sem. VI.)

At a Glance To Sir, with Love  recounts Braithwaite's personal experiences as a teacher in London. A native of British Guiana, he's forced to take a job as a teacher, where he's able to get through to a group of semi-literate pupils thanks to his unorthodox teaching methods. The first several chapters of this autobiographical novel focus on Braithwaite's struggle to find steady work after his Royal Air Force unit was demobilized at the end of World War II. Eventually, he gets a job as a teacher in London's East End. Braithwaite's first days as a teacher are rough. His students are only semi-literate and are largely uninterested in learning. They have no respect for him, and he struggles to teach them using the official curricula of the school. Finally, Braithwaite decides to switch tactics and use unconventional teaching methods, such as taking the children to museums and letting them discuss whatever to...
