Organic Unity In T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land

Authors : Leila Bellour .

Abstract

This paper evinces the organic form in T. S. Eliot’s The Waste ‎Land. Though the poem is always considered as fragmented, it ‎constitutes a unified whole. The poem consummates a marriage ‎between form and content. Eliot’s poetic form resonates with modern ‎existence that is fragmented. His personal experience also has a direct ‎bearing on his style and mode of composition. The form is in tune with ‎the reality of the poet’s psychological crisis and the outside shattered ‎reality. ‎
