Description:
My introduction asserts the perpetual freshness of “Prufrock” and the less unified efforts of The Waste Land, an American self-elegy masking as a mythological romance.
Hugh Kenner opens the volume with a discussion of Eliot’s wrangling with the personal ghosts of history, after which Cleo McNelly Kearns examines the religious and doctrinal influences in Four Quartets.
John Paul Riquelme turns to the same work in an exploration of Eliot’s disjunctive style, followed by A.D. Moody’s query: Was Eliot an American poet after all?
Anthony L. Johnson broaches the similarities and differences in “Gerontion” and “The Journey of the Magi,” and Lee Oser listens for Prufrock’s puritan underpinnings.
Denis Donoghue looks at Eliotic origins giving rise to Prufrock’s spiritual panic, while Ronald Bush examines the poet in the context of modernism and the aesthetic energies of the 1890s.
Joseph Jonghyun Jeon traces the tension between privacy and revelation in “The Hollow Men,” after which John H. Timmerman addresses the presence of the Aristotelian in The Waste Land. (from the Editor’s Note)
