Book Description:

While T S Eliot s status as a canonical modernist poet is secure, his legacy remains the subject of much critical debate. Gott examines Eliot s "The Waste Land "(1922) in conjunction with Gustave Flaubert s "La Tentation de Saint Antoine" (1874). He provides a highly original reading of both texts and argues that a stylistic affinity exists between the two works, which derives from the authors shared fascination for the ascetic saint.
