English Assessment – T. S. Eliot
Explain how the poetry you have studied reflects some of the major concerns of its context.
The poetry of T S Eliot reflects some of the major concerns of its context, of the Modernist period with its upset of deeply entrenched beliefs shattering the stability of 19th century life. ... Imagist poetry like Eliot’s uses precise, sharp images as a means of poetic expression and stressed precision of words and freedom of form and subjects. ...
Eliot’s poetry is influenced by the Symbolist movement, which foreshadowed modernisms interest in a deeper than surface reality. Part of that new, deeper reality involves the change of people’s knowledge of the complexity of human character, due to works by Freud; thus newer, subtler techniques were developed to capture this. ...
Modernists like Eliot had lost faith in society, and the loss of beliefs and the weakening hold of religion set people adrift in a morally ambiguous and frightening world. So in addition to abandoning a traditional concept of characterization, Eliot also abandoned the hero.
