 dove trovo la traduzione in italiano di tradition and the individual talent
Tieni presente che *nessuno* lo chiama "Thomas Eliot"; solo "TS Eliot".

Avevo letto anni fa che negli ambienti accademici c'è 
questo modo di usare le iniziali dei nomi anziché i nomi 
stessi.
GB Shaw, RL Stevenson, GG Byron, PB Shelley, GK Chesterton 
etc.

Here in the US, some authors are always referred to by their full
names, and others by abbreviated forms of their names. I would always
refer to the above-mentioned authors as: George Bernard Shaw (or just
Shaw), Robert Louis Stevenson, George Gordon Lord Byron (or just
Byron), Percy Bysshe Shelley (or just Shelley), and GK Chesterton. I
have no idea what Chesterton's GK stands for, having always referred
to him as GK. I am not aware of any  tendency in academic circles here
in the US to refer to authors by initials, unless they are normally
referred to using these initials ( for reasons unbeknownst to me),
such as GK Chesterton, JB Priestley, WEB DuBois, or EE Cummings.

I should have added that Eliot is always referred to as Eliot, or TS
Eliot, here in the US.

Much as in the UK . I have never even seen (until now) Byron referred to as
GG Byron , let alone heard it - always Byron or Lord Byron . It's a reminder
of the former fame of Shaw , now almost ignored ,  that he was very often
referred to simply as GBS , and the initials alone might still be used and
widely understood today .
Incidentally , has e. e. cummings now been dignified with capitals ?

Heavens no! I don't think he would consider it a dignifying! :)

Contrary to popular belief, Cummings did not sign his poetry without
capitalization. He did, however, refrain from capitalizing the "i",
but only in his poetry.
«What probably accounts for the common misperception that he is a
lowercase poet is his usual printing of "I" as "i." Interestingly, he
wrote in a letter to his mother, September 3, 1925 (Selected Letters,
F. W. Dupee and George Stade, eds., 1969, pp. 108-9): "I am a small
eye poet." Notice that he capitalizes the first-person singular,
distinguishing between the writer of the letter and the writer of the
poetry. And in his letters he most frequently used the uppercase form,
with his signature at the bottom in caps....»

Ah , the gap between art and life ! Actually , I only made my remark because
my edition of his poems (a UK publication) has his name on the cover without
capitals ; I wasn't thinking of his poetic practices . Otherwise I have to
admit I'm totally ignorant about him , except for the poetry itself , which
I used to be quite fond of though I haven't revisited it for some time .
