T.S. 엘리엣의 몰개성 시론 재고 = T. S. Eliot`s Impersonal Theory of Poetry Revisited

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The gist of Eliot's "Impersonal Theory of Poetry" is that a new art emotion is produced through the process of depersonalization in which the poet's personal emotions or private experiences are combined with feelings or images in his mind. A careful examination of Eliot's critical essays will reveal that the puzzling terms of personality and impersonality are employed in both positive and negative senses. This Impersonalism is transformed into two kinds of impersonality in "Yeats"(1940). The one is that of a "mere skilful craftsman" and the other that of a "maturing artist."
The sources of Impersonalism are variously traced to Eliot's disillusionment with Wordsworth's Romantic theory of poetry, with Pater and Wilde's Decadence, Middleton Murry's Inner Voice, with Bergson's lectures on personality, and are considered to be directly influenced by Pound's theory of persona, F. H. Bradley's theory of self-transcendence and de Gourmont's term, "personnalite´."
The practice of Eliot's "Impersonal Theory of Poetry" can be widely detected in his own poetry. For example, the comparison of Prufrock's self to a "wriggling" insect or "a pair of ragged claws" concretely portrays the self-surrender of Impersonalism. The little old man Gerontion is transformed into an impersonal being devoid of his five senses. In The Waste Land the most impersonal persona Tiresias appears who is both male and female and connects all the voices into one voice. In Four Quartets the submission of "self" to God is a reflection of Impersonalism.
