Aspects of German Romanticism in the Poetry of T.S.Eliot - A Reading of Selected Poems

That Eliot has been linked to Romanticism is not new, but the reference has always been either to Romanticism in general or to English Romanticism. It is quite rare to find Eliot linked to German Romanticism, particularly its early version. This study Shifts the emphasis from English Romanticism to Early German Romanticism (the Jena circle) and attempts a reading of Eliot based on this shift.The aesthetics introduced by Friedrich Schlegel, especially his formulation of irony, are of central importance to this approach.
