T.S. Eliot: A Virgilian Poet

by Gareth Reeves

Arguing that Eliot's work is significantly Virgilian, Gareth Reeves throws new light on his poetry. Reeves brings out the important distinction between the Christianized version of Virgil in Eliot's later poetry and plays, and the hitherto neglected apocalyptic Virgil behind 'The Waste Land.'
