초록
T. S. Eliot, like Conrad, Joyce, Pound, Beckett, and other greats of his generation, had an exilic imagination. Displaced from the country of their birth, they were conscious of being strangers in an uneasy world. This essay outlines Eliot’s sense of displacement and homelessness from 1914 to the late 1950s, with emphasis on the effect that the impulse to return had on his major poems. The Waste Land is a poem of personal and cultural exile, Ash-Wednesday is an ode expressing both the pain of exile and the hope of return, and Four Quartets is a composition that reconfigures exile as a life-long spiritual odyssey.
