Religion Versus Emotion In T. S. Eliot’s Prose
Authors : Leila Bellour .
Abstract
Abstract In T. S. Eliot’s prose, Romanticism is seen as the sworn enemy which constitutes a stumbling block against creative writing. This poet and criticconsiders Romanticism and sexuality as sinful, heretic, and feminine; thus, they need to be exorcised by dint of religion. Eliot embraces T. E. Hulme’s view of Romanticism as ‘spilt religion’. For him, religion is an authority that is likely to silence the inner voice and mollify one’s intense emotions. Thus, it helps achieve his literary project of impersonality. Eliot’s woman hatred elicits his binary thinking and his dualistic categorization of the world into spiritual/emotional. Religion, for him, is a means of transcending emotions and the feminine.
