The essay for which The Sacred Wood is primarily remembered is one of the most famous pieces of criticism in English: Tradition and the Individual Talent helped to re-orientate arguments about the study of literature and its production by redefining the nature of tradition and the artist's relation to it.At a time when the word traditional had become a way of damning with faint praise by reference to the past, Eliot reinterpreted the term to mean something entirely different. It is not, he argues, something just handed down, but, instead, a prize to be obtained by great labour, not least in the making of a huge effort of understanding how the past fits together. Seen thus, Eliot suggests, a literary and artistic tradition has a simultaneous existence and composes a simultaneous order and it is not just past, but present as well. For Eliot, art never improves, but only changes, and each part of the tradition is constantly being reinterpreted in light of what is added to the whole. The role of the poet, in Eliot's view, is to subjugate their own personality, and become a receptacle, in which numberless feelings, phrases, images
can unite to form a new compound. Redefining the issue of poets' relations to the past in this new way is a fine example of creative thinking, and Eliots ability to connect existing concepts in new ways was what gave weight to the argument that he advanced: that poets cannot succeed without understanding that they are taking their place on a continuum that stretches back to all their predecessors, and incorporate the ideas, strengths and failings of the entire body of work that those poets represented.
