Tension in Poetry by Allen Tate Explanation part I,II,III | Study Notes

'Tension in Poetry' is taken from Tate`s The Man of Letters in the Modern World, Selected Essays. The essay deals with tension as the life of a poem. It reveals Tate's view that a good poem is one in which the extension and the intension are in a state of tension. Tate invented the term Tension by chopping off the prefixes “in” and “ex” from the two terms “intension” and “extension”. Tate believed in the autonomy of art and the aesthetic formalist on the basis of critical analysis. He was classified among the New Critics of the mid-20th century.
