“Memory and Desire”: T.S. Eliot, Reaction, Nostalgia, and Poetic Reserve in The Waste Land by Philippe Birgy

“…On the face of it, the dispute revolves around the question of the author’s responsibility and accountability for his work and the positions held by the contestants are liable to become entrenched, sometimes to the point of preventing the actual confrontation of critical insights.Our contention will be that a simplification or standardization of the term “reaction” often obscures the fact that modernism is not simply contested or “in debate” but that modernism is the debate itself—in other words, that modernism is constitutively and structurally problematic. Modernism as manifested or endorsed by Eliot in the form of a writing programme consists precisely in that exposure to the conflict inherent in poetic practice, in the direct confrontation to insoluble dilemmas. …”
