Coles Desire and the Ascetic Ideal: Buddhism Hinduism Works of T. S. Eliot at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The Hindu words "Shantih shantih shantih" provide the closing of The Waste Land , perhaps the most famous poem of the twentieth century. This is just one example among many of T. S. Eliot?s immersion in Sanskrit and Indian philosophy and of how this fascination strongly influenced his work.
Centering on Eliot?s study of sources from ancient India, this new book offers a rereading of the poet?s work, analyzing his unpublished graduate school notebooks on Indian philosophy and exploring Eliot?s connection with Buddhist thought. Eliot was crucially influenced by his early engagement with Indian texts, and when analyzed through this lens, his poems reveal a criticism of the attachments of human desire and the suggestion that asceticism might hold out the possibility that desire can be cultivated toward a metaphysical absolute. Full of such insights, Upton?s book represents an important intervention in modernist studies.
