"Tradition and the Individual Talent" is a 1919 essay by T. S. Eliot, first published in The Egoist and collected in The Sacred Wood (1920). It argues that a poet must write with awareness of the whole literary tradition.
He wrote this essay called "Tradition and the Individual Talent" that I've used as a touchstone to talk to different communities that are quite hesitant to think of computational creativity as a real thing.
