Myth-Making in T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets

Summary/Abstract: Comprehensive artistic and analytical treatment of myth in the 20s and onwards influenced all literary endeavors that shaped the aesthetics of Modernism and ended with the publication of Four Quartets in 1944. This general attitude shaped the poetics of the best works of Modernism not only inspiring the literary process of the 1920-40s, but essentially influencing the 20th century poetic mind on the whole. It was due to the reversion to myth that as Joseph Frank put it, “... time was no longer felt as an objective, causal progression with clearly marked-out differences between periods; it had become a continuum in which distinctions between past and present were wiped out”. Past and present were apprehended spatially, locked in a modernist timeless unity of the literary universe, and this formed the basic peculiarity of the “mythical method” of High Modernism.
