The essay argues that T. S. Eliot endures because he is perceived as someone who lived alienation and transformed it into the great motor of his research. It enlists the resources of psychoanalysis to consider the role of Eliot's waged 9-5 occupation in ensuring the sense of an intimate connection to a promising and alternative -- if fleeting -- genre-defying conceptuality. It shows that alienation underpins Eliot's notion of tradition and his doctrine of impersonality.

Abstract

The essay argues that T. S. Eliot endures because he is perceived as someone who lived alienation and transformed it into the great motor of his research. It enlists the resources of psychoanalysis to consider the role of Eliot's waged 9-5 occupation in ensuring the sense of an intimate connection to a promising and alternative -- if fleeting -- genre-defying conceptuality. It shows that alienation underpins Eliot's notion of tradition and his doctrine of impersonality.
