The objective equivalent in the new Anglo-American criticism: a study of the term, concept and references

Abstract

             This paper tries to trace one of the most important terms derived from The Anglo- American new criticism represented by one of its most remarkable critics T.S.Eliot and which is "The Objective Correlative". It is a central term in both Eliotian and new critical theories in the twentieth century. An important section in this paper has been devoted to examine the many origins of Eliot's ''Objective Correlative'' from

French symbolism, Poundian imagism to Bradlean philosophy, and its impact of this notion on the Arab criticism.
