This man quoted Matthew Arnold's belief that the Romantic poets "did not know enough" in the introduction to a work that ends by referring any would-be critics to a selection from Johnson's Life of Cowley.  That text notes that Tudor-Stuart drama had been utterly mastered by Swinburne, whose inability to drop his overpowering style made him "imperfect," shortly before a section which features an extended metaphor of a platinum catalyzed reaction. This man notably called a certain work an "artistic (*) failure" because it lacks the chain of events that serve as the "formula for a particular emotion" in an essay claiming the title figure was made into a Werther by Goethe and into a Coleridge by Coleridge. He submitted his "impersonal theory" of poetry in "Tradition and the Individual Talent" and his concept of "objective correlative" in another piece in The Sacred Wood. For 10 points, name this author of "Hamlet and His Problems," an anglophile American poet whose own works include The Love Song of Alfred Prufrock.
