    • Abstract:
      The article reflects on the function of literary criticism as it looks into the journal "The Criterion," established by writer T. S. Eliot in Great Britain. The journal united the best critical opinion in England together with the work of the best critics from other countries. In addition, the journal's focused area was not Anglo-American literature but the cultural mind of Europe. Moreover, Eliot's standard was so high that he rarely found room in the journal for even the second-rate.
