Synopsis "Poetics and Literary Theory of T. S. Eliot"

This is a critical handbook on T. S. Eliot's poetical works and verse dramas with their text and critical interpretation for students of Asian and African countries. An exhaustive discussion is made through critical analysis of Eliot's literary personality as a poet and theorist. Eliot exercised a strong influence on Anglo-American culture from the 1920s until late in the century. His experiments in diction, style, and versification revitalized English poetry, and in a series of critical essays, he shattered old orthodoxies and erected new ones. The publication of Four Quartets led to his recognition as the greatest living English poet and man of letters, and in 1948 he was awarded both the Order of Merit and the Nobel Prize for Literature.Eliot was to pursue four careers: editor, dramatist, literary critic, and philosophical poet. He was probably the most erudite poet of his time in the English language. His undergraduate poems were "literary" and conventional. His first important publication, and the first masterpiece of Modernism in English, was "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". The poem "The Waste Land" is known for its obscure nature-its slippage between satire and prophecy; its abrupt changes of speaker, location, and time. Eliot's concern with faith and doubt, chaos and calamity and decline in the sensibility of the modern people is reflected through his poems and plays. Modernity and the sense for the modernist make him unparalleled and the most popular modern poet. His great musical sense in his poetry reminds of his use of rhymes, metre and rhythm. This rimming of poetry with music brings meaningful beauty and concept.
