Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Davidson, a Study of the Relation of His Ideas to His Poetry John Davidson is one of a group of poets who began to attract attention in the eighteen nineties. He began to write at a time when the younger generation in England was living through a re action against Victorian literature. The younger writers Of the nineties, whether aesthetes, symbolists, realists, impressionists or Celts, agreed clearly in one respect - in reviling the taste that pre vailed in Victorian England of the second and third quarters of the nineteenth century. They were all raised under the influence of Carlyle 's anti-utilitarianism and Arnold's anti-philistin'ism, and disliked intensely what they conceived to be the mid-victorian type. The mid-victorian was to them a vulgar bourgeois - a narrow minded, complacent, practical individual who edified himself by reading poetry and was Shocked by the indecencies of Ibsen, Wag ner and Zola; a person whose philosopher was Spencer because Spencer was so industriously careful; whose great intellectual novel ist was Thackeray because his characters reminded one of the com monplace people that one might have met yesterday; whose great poet was'tennyson because he was abreast of the times and always compromised; whose essayist was Macaulay because he was an Opti mist who believed that a practical millennium was at band; who created a Shakespeare in his own image, bland, gentle, amiable, a theatrical man of bourgeois tastes prudently amassing a fortune and retiring to the country to live on his income; who tinkered with corn-law reforms and model prisons because he was too timid to re model society; whose tragedy was of the Paul Dombey type; whose religion was compromisingly rational; his philosophy utilitarian; his politics liberal; his manners prudish - an old maid, stolid, seri ous, sentimental, provincial. It was a duty to discuss sex problems freely and Shock this vulgar prude with epigrams and poses and with the selecting of degenerates for heroes in novels. Strange sins and subtle moods were accordingly created largely as a reaction against the matter-of-fact moralizings of the mid-victorians.

Book excerpt: "The modern literary critic", T. S. Eliot wrote in 1929, "must be an 'experimenter' outside of what you might at first consider his own province; [...] there is no literary problem which does not lead us irresistibly to larger problems." This book follows Eliot's principle and situates his literary and critical work in a wide context that reveals manifold links between aesthetics, ethics, politics and epistemology: the historical context of early-twentieth-century idealism, vitalism and pragmatism, especially the intensely political Bergsonian controversy, and the modern context of the philosophies of Charles Taylor, Michel Foucault and Richard Rorty. 'Knowledge', it argues, was verbalised in the modernist age, individualised into the act of 'knowing', an act with motives and goals, and thus introduced into the realm of ethics - a process central to twentieth-century thought. Eliot's poems especially, constructed as "a life composed", a literary lifetime linking composition and composure, ponder the virtue of precision, the sins of pride and "mental sloth", the temptation of prejudice and the need for conviction. Decidedly tentative, Eliot's poems solve the problem of morally significant literature. In a century of suspicion, they ask the crucial question of where one should start to rely.
