In Chapter 2, Maria discusses how her thinking is influenced by T.S. Eliot’s essay “Tradition and the Individual Talent.” She writes, “He argued that the way you read William Shapkespeare is affected by the last novel you read, and the last novel you read is affected by the fact that you read Shakespeare. This notion collapses time, space, and tradition because both past and present coexist, changing each other and creating the future…” What do you think Maria is trying to convey by highlighting “The present moment of the past.” What does this mean to you? Have you read works of literature that has affected and influenced your life?
