Title: Contact (magazine)
Passage: Contact was an American literary "little magazine" published during the early 1920s and again in 1932.  Following their introduction in 1920 by Marsden Hartley at a party hosted by Lola Ridge, William Carlos Williams and Robert McAlmon endeavored to create an outlet for works showcasing Williams' theory of "contact", a theory centered on the belief that art should derive from an artist's direct experience and sense of place and should reject traditional notions of value.  Williams desired to create a distinctly American form of art free of the literary tradition running throughout the work of T. S. Eliot.

He moved from his native United States to England in 1914 at the age of 25, settling, working, and marrying there.

Title: New Criticism
Passage: New Criticism was a formalist movement in literary theory that dominated American literary criticism in the middle decades of the 20th century.  It emphasized close reading, particularly of poetry, to discover how a work of literature functioned as a self-contained, self-referential aesthetic object.  The movement derived its name from John Crowe Ransom's 1941 book "The New Criticism".  The work of English scholar I. A. Richards, especially his "Practical Criticism" and "The Meaning of Meaning", which offered what was claimed to be an empirical scientific approach, were important to the development of New Critical methodology.  Also very influential were the critical essays of T. S. Eliot, such as "Tradition and the Individual Talent" and "Hamlet and His Problems", in which Eliot developed his notion of the "objective correlative".  Eliot's evaluative judgments, such as his condemnation of Milton and Shelley, his liking for the so-called metaphysical poets and his insistence that poetry must be impersonal, greatly influenced the formation of the New Critical canon.
