Abstract
The present paper aims to analyze the concept of ‘Tradition’ and ‘Individual Talent’ propounded by T.S. Eliot and its implications for ‘Intertextuality’. Intertextuality is widely used phenomenon which states that every text whether spoken or written is connected with the pre existing texts. No text is an island and it always emerges in a context or in a relationship with other texts. Though the term is coined in different ways by different theorists, it has a concurrent relationship with Eliot’s concept of tradition, historical sense and depersonalization of poetry.
