영문 초록

In-Cheon YeouIn his critical essay, “Virgil and the Christian World,” On Poetry and Poets(1957), Eliot said that “a poet may believe that he is expressing only his private experience; his lines may be for him only a means of talking about himself without giving himself away.” His theory of impersonality is a way of talking about himself without giving himself away. He could escape from personality and emotion by throwing up all of his mental anguish which he had suffered from and then transforming it into the materials for the poems.Indeed several times he talked about how “every poet starts from his own emotions.” What he is trying to say, through the theory of impersonality, is that every poet should do his best to transform his personal experience and suffering into the materials that can be considered to be objective and general. But he has a contradiction in his impersonal theory by way of showing his experiences more personal than objective or general especially in the early poetry.Eliot used ‘persona’ figures in his poems, through whom his personal experiences and thoughts would be spoken indirectly by means of dramatic monologue. Eliot, who was raised in a Unitarian family, was a shy, timid, and self-conscious person. Using ‘persona’ was a proper way for Eliot to hide himself behind it and speak his own mind and feelings through it. In conclusion, the childhood memories of Eliot re-appear, are transformed and are charged with great imaginative pressure. It is believed that the biographical elements are the key to unraveling the mystery hidden in Eliot’s poetry.
