Abstract

The twentieth century is marked by the rise of multiple voices in the realm of English poetry. T. S. Eliot is considered as the important figure of this age who addressed the concerns of the age. What makes Eliot unique from his contemporaries is his Europeanism, the awareness of belonging to a tradition than that of his language. Eliot at a particular point of his life got converted to Christianity in order to satisfy his longing for European tradition and culture. For him Christianity was the most effective measure against the corruption of totalitarianism and that could save the modern man from being completely atomized and going adrift. This transformation is depicted in one of his poems titled “Journey of the Magi”.
