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."'

Additional Comments:

Chace cites his quote from Eliot's own magazine, Criterion (the edition aforementioned in the quote). Hulme's writings, including his poetry and his articles to British literary magazine The New Age, were a strong influence on the modernists, and he was part of their social circle.
