Chung, Kyung-Sim. “Quest for the Impersonal Framework: The Mythical Method, Title & Notes in The Waste Land.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.4 (2011): 131-46. This essay looks into the literary contexts Eliot faced and felt in taking the three actions after the completion of The Waste Land: his revision of the title at the last moment, extraneous imposition of the lengthy Notes, and 1923 emphasis on “the mythical method.” First of all “the mythical method” was nothing new but had been exhaustively experimented and practiced by Eliot. In this light his short explication of the method as Joyce’s in Ulysses is rather misleading. The revision of the original title from Dickens’s novel, “He Do the Police in Different Voices,” diverted the reader’s attention from the art of presentation to the presence of a much broader horizon, the mythical framework with an archetypal pattern and moral consciousness. Then by adding the Notes, Eliot tried to extend the horizon further by the anthropological perspectives in the Grail Legend and The Golden Bough. The three acts are all meant to point out that there is a framework in the poem that controls and unifies the apparently anarchical and disordered fragments, which implies how apprehensive Eliot was of giving an order to the poem after Pound’s editing of the original manuscript.

Abstract
Chung, Kyung-Sim. “Quest for the Impersonal Framework: The Mythical Method, Title & Notes in The Waste Land.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.4 (2011): 131-46. This essay looks into the literary contexts Eliot faced and felt in taking the three actions after the completion of The Waste Land: his revision of the title at the last moment, extraneous imposition of the lengthy Notes, and 1923 emphasis on “the mythical method.” First of all “the mythical method” was nothing new but had been exhaustively experimented and practiced by Eliot. In this light his short explication of the method as Joyce’s in Ulysses is rather misleading. The revision of the original title from Dickens’s novel, “He Do the Police in Different Voices,” diverted the reader’s attention from the art of presentation to the presence of a much broader horizon, the mythical framework with an archetypal pattern and moral consciousness. Then by adding the Notes, Eliot tried to extend the horizon further by the anthropological perspectives in the Grail Legend and The Golden Bough.
