Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Writing in the seventh number (April 1924) of his new magazine Criterion, Eliot declared that the late "militarist by faith" T. E. Hulme "appears as the forerunner of a new attitude of mind, which should be the twentieth-century mind, if the twentieth-century is to have a mind of its own. Hulme is classical, reactionary, and evolutionary; he is the antipodes of the eclectic, tolerant, and democratic mind of the end of the last century."'
