As well as Richards’ ‘Science and Poetry’ (1926, 1935).

Possibly the debate had to do with Eliot’s 1927 essay in The Dial titled 

Literature, Science, and Dogma.

Carrol, 

I suppose it has to do with Eliot and Richards holding opposing views on literature, science, and dogma vis-a-vis Dante. 

Please peruse: 

Literature, Science, and Dogma: T. S. Eliot and I. A. Richards on Dante - Dominic Manganiello, 1993

I vaguely remember this from around 65 years ago, in a t ext referencing some years earlier. I.A. Richards, as I remember, had listed a few things that one should contemplate, and one of those items was considering the immense magnitude  of the galaxies, or something like that. And Eliot responded with some sort of sneer. Obviously I'm pretty vague on this. Can anyone give  more  information?
