The unexpected obstacle to our juxtaposition of these two authors is that Newman does not answer that illustrious roll call, the index of Donald Gallup’s T. S. Eliot: A Bibliography. Eliot never devoted a single essay to him. What could be the cause of so protracted a silence? Certainly, it was not lack of familiarity. For three straight years, fall and winter, beginning in the fall of 1916, Eliot’s University of London Extension class on “Modern English Literature” devoted a week to Newman. The printed syllabus gives only a tantalizing glimpse of the proceedings: “His temperament, with regard to his change in religious attachment. Reasons for joining the Church of Rome. His thought. Style. Read: Apologia, Idea of a University.” (131)

一个被忽视的世纪：约翰·亨利·纽曼（John Henry Newman）和TS艾略特（TS Eliot）的“传统与个人才能”

我们两位作者并列的意料之外的障碍是纽曼没有回答杰出的名册查询，这是唐纳德·盖洛普（Donald Gallup）的《 TS艾略特：书目》（TS Eliot：A Bibliography）的索引。艾略特从没给他写过一篇论文。如此长时间的沉默可能是什么原因？当然，这并不缺乏熟悉性。从1916年秋开始，秋冬季连续三年，艾略特的伦敦大学伦敦大学“现代英语文学”扩展课专门为纽曼安排了一周的时间。印刷的教学大纲仅使您对程序有一个令人着迷的瞥见：“他的性情，关于他对宗教依恋的改变。加入罗马教堂的原因。他的想法。风格。阅读：言辞，大学理念。” （131）
