This essay plan was created by a second-year English Literature undergraduate at Durham University.
It looks at the question: ’Four Quartets is especially concerned with the problem of what it might be to know something. It has its roots in Eliot’s earliest philosophical interests as well as in his Christian conviction and his reading in mysticism’ (Martin Dodsworth). Discuss the presence of philosophical thought AND/OR religious mysticism in Eliot’s later poetry (after 1922).
This analyses Eliot’s own Christian beliefs, the mysticism within his writing, and anxiety within his poems. Poems discussed are ‘Animula’ (from the Ariel collection), Marina, Ash Wednesday, Four Quartets, with mention of The Waste Land and Prufrock.
