T. S. Eliot and Dante [Paperback]

Ezra Pound belatedly conceded that T.S.Eliot was the true Dantescan voice of the modern world. With this assertion in mind, this study examines the relationship between the two poets. It attempts to show how Dante's total vision impinges on Eliot's craft and thought.Acknowledgements - Dante according to Eliot - Death by Water and Dante's Ulysses - The Poetics of the Desert - Eliot's Book of Memory - The Aesthetics and Politics of Order - Eliot's Dante and the Moderns - Index
