British Literature: A Study of Traditional and Cultural Founding in The Waste Land By T.S.Eliot
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
T.S.Eliot had been very influential in shaping Modernist Poetry. He was instrumental in bringing about a innovative change in the language and images of the 20th century poetry. His poetic shorthand became inspirational model for many 20th century poets across the World. Eliotian devices are use of concrete shocking im- ag es, ironic use of myth and far-reaching symbolism. These devices became the benchmark for the 20th century poetry. T.S.Eliot’s The Waste Land is not only understood to be a metaphor of the cultural pessimism and sterility but also tries to depict a culture that is dying and carving for having rebirth. It is clearly evident in his poem that the legend of the Fisher King is entangled with other myths and legends of injury, barrenness, and rebirth. Eliot's vividness is to present this situation as a landscape, a landscape of drought and ruin, a mountain of stones. All these things throw light on the very iconography of broken and scattered belief systems in his poem. This Paper is an attempt to study T.S.Eliot’s The Waste Land. This Paper is also an attempt to trace the use o-f Tradi tional and Cultural founding in the T.S.Eliot’s The Waste Land.
