From Waste Lands to Farmhands: T.S. Eliot and the Organic Husbandry Movement

Abstract:T.S. Eliot and Organicism examines the poet’s relationship with the organic husbandry movement and reveals his active role in advocating its ideas. It demonstrates how he used his authority as an editor and publisher to provide a platform for those with organicist views, and explains how he incorporated some of these opinions into his own work. Diaper uncovers the extent to which organicism interlinked with Eliot’s ethical, social, and religious perspectives, providing a valuable and original insight into the poet’s wider worldview.
