Leavis thought of his voice as “disconcertingly lacking in body,” even to the extent that it made him an “unintelligent” reader of his own work, while Christopher Ricks picks up on this vocal “flatness,” finding that his poetry is written “consciously at a remove from the directly speakable,” to cite two influential accounts.1 This understanding of Eliot as a non-performative poet has obscured the verse performance contexts he engaged with throughout his life, from his early days in St. Louis to the main body of his poetic career in London. Growing up, he was subject to the entwining of literature and recitation that persisted in late Victorian education, while also encountering the influential Delsarte method of dramatic expression at his dance classes.2 His move to Boston coincided with the glory years of Samuel Silas Curry’s Boston School of Expression, and Eliot’s relationship with Emily Hale, a teacher of elocution and drama with a gift for speaking verse, brought these early American recitation contexts forward into his later life. Primed by his American experiences, in 1914 Eliot arrived in a city where a popular movement for","PeriodicalId":430068,"journal":{"name":"The T. S.

Leonard Diepeveen explores the nuances of quotation and allusion,1 John Xiros Cooper considers the poem’s socioverbal context and its transformative action on sociolinguistic codes,2 Michael Levenson argues for considering scene instead of image as the context for the poem’s voices,3 and Alireza Farahbakhsh, among others, observes the fractured, elusive selfhood created by the poem’s lack of a central speaker.4 A new avenue which we might carve into the already well-lined critical map of voice in The Waste Land, however, is to move on, as Eliot did, from voice to land. That Eliot ultimately decided to name the poem The Waste Land after having nearly called it “He Do the Police in Different Voices” signals that his text is concerned with voice and land in nearly equal measure. That is, however, not to abandon entirely the poem’s perennially compelling questions of voice; those interested in voices in The Waste Land will find their readings enriched by considering them in connection with the poem’s equally compelling questions of land, which ecocritics have begun to take up in recent years. Scholars endeavoring to read The Waste Land ecocritically tend to gravitate to the idea of “waste.” Gabrielle McIntire uses Eliot’s representation of pollution to classify the poem as a “fallen post pastoral,” where nature has been compromised and thus cannot offer renewal, respite, or","PeriodicalId":430068,"journal":{"name":"The T.

In such cases, some of us believe that we have experienced a hidden, supernatural message that comes to us from another world, from beyond our limited perspective. What I propose to explain here is how Eliot’s Western Christianity might be experienced and appreciated even in a non-Christian society such as Japan. Some Japanese scholars of English literature ask a question that goes straight to the heart of this matter of religious belief: “Can our students, or even we ourselves, really appreciate Eliot’s poems and essays without any belief in, or even understanding of, Christianity?” For us Japanese, the answer will vary depending on the context. If, for example, a classroom teacher has a clear reason for choosing Eliot’s works for discussion, they may be able to teach students something about their own lives by using Eliot’s alien cultural context. As we Japanese run a rat race in society, we tend to think of human life from the viewpoint of economic practicality such as making money or acquiring a reputation. Eliot points us to another sphere of human life by seeking the still point of the turning world, which for Japanese students looks like the stage of nothingness of Zen Buddhism. In this way Japanese students might be able to find a new horizon of interpretation in Eliot’s poems outside a Judeo-Christian culture.","PeriodicalId":430068,"journal":{"name":"The T. S.

The Waste Land has exemplified modernist difficulty for a century. As teachers, how should we handle its difficulty in our classrooms? I’ll suggest in this brief essay a few ways that we can encourage students to describe the poem’s difficulty—or its multiple difficulties—as precisely as possible. The goal is not to make the poem itself easy to understand, but to clarify how we can and should read The Waste Land. The difficulty never goes away but can, itself, be better understood. First, it is worth noting that The Waste Land’s difficulty today is not exactly the same as it was one hundred years ago. In 1922, the most common accounts of the poem’s difficulty attribute it to fragmentation. “It seems at first sight remarkably disconnected and confused [...] [however] a closer view of the poem does more than illuminate the difficulties; it reveals the hidden form of the work, [and] indicates how each thing falls into place.”4 I suspect that students in the twenty-first century are less jolted by quick jump cuts and multiple voices, and probably less challenged by the poem’s much-vaunted disillusionment. Eliot protested this description—“When I wrote a poem called The Waste Land some of the more approving critics said that I had expressed the ‘disillusionment of a","PeriodicalId":430068,"journal":{"name":"The T.
