T.S.Eliot\u27s Notes Towards the Definition of Culture : A View Fifty Years Later

The half-century anniversary of both the publication of T. S. Eliot\u27s Notes Towards the Definition of Culture (1948), and his receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature provides us with a timely opportunity to reconsider this book. This work culminates a stream of thought Eliot had developed for decades, specifically in his poem, The Waste Land (1922) and in his collection of essays, The Idea of a Christian Society (1939), about the interrelationship of religion and culture in modern society.The half-century anniversary of both the publication of T.
