Eliot’s Nerves

View through CrossRef
This chapter argues that T. S Eliot’s poetic composition between 1909 to 1922 dramatizes his nervous inner states as a young man. It furthers criticism by Christopher Ricks (2003), Robert Crawford (1987, 2015) and Anthony Cuda (2004), builds on thinking by Adam Phillips (1994) and Frank Kermode (2010), and develops studies of literary nervousness by Tom Lutz (1991), Shelley Trower (2013), and Phillipa Lewis (2016). Tracking a nervous poetics in Eliot’s drafts in connection with his life-writing, it adds to criticism by singling out nervousness, for the first time, as a source for, and dramatization within, Eliot’s writing.
