Modern Literature Literature Gender Studies T S Eliot body city Bakhtin spirituality modernity Grotesque gender femininity While many studies on T. S. Eliot’s poetry focus on his representations of the self, in this thesis, I argue that the body as depicted by Eliot not only registers the cultural anxieties that modernity invokes, but is also employed by the poet as a vehicle with which to explore anxiety. I discuss how the poet’s angsts about the modern urban life are mapped out onto the bodies he describes in his early poetry. I argue that Eliot’s metaphysics of the body—his philosophical analysis and representations of the body—is a reaction to the culture of his time. In this study, I conduct a close textual analysis of poems from Prufrock and Other Observations and The Waste Land to illustrate that the body is a manifestation of the anxieties of modern life in Eliot’s poetry. 2015-04-29 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1429271816 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1429271816 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
