Eliot and Dante: A Modernist Perspective

In this contribution, I analyze the outstanding encounter of two great masters of poetry, Dante and TS Eliot.

I shall attempt to highlight how important Dante’s poetry was, not merely for Eliot’s own poetics, but also for his art making. I shall focus on four issues: Within Eliot’s poetics, Dante represents the great model of classic poet, capable of blending ethics and aesthetics, poetry, and philosophy. For the above reason, Dante would become a model exemplifying Eliot’s theory on “the impersonality of the poet” and on the objective correlative. For Eliot, as a modernist poet, Dante’s linguistic revolution and the features of dantesque language represented a model to imitate. Eliot uses various literary strategies to imitate Dante, and the characters portrayed in Dante’s work reappear in Eliot’s own works. In questo mio intervento sullo straordinario incontro di due grandi maestri della poesia, Dante e Eliot, cercherò di chiarire quanto sia stata importante la poesia di Dante, non solo per la “poetica” di Eliot, ma anche per il suo stesso “fare artistico”. Mi concentrerò su quattro punti  Dante nella poetica di Eliot rappresenta il grande modello di poeta “classico” che ha saputo coniugare etica ed estetica, poesia e filosofia. Dante diventerà per questo un modello per esemplificare le teorie eliotiane sull’impersonalità dell’artista e sul correlativo oggettivo La rivoluzione linguistica di Dante e le caratteristiche del linguaggio dantesco rappresentano per l’Eliot modernista un esempio da imitare.  Le varie strategie letterarie che Eliot usa per imitare Dante e le figure del mondo dantesco che ritornano nelle opere di Eliot.
