- W1485132912 abstract "This thesis describes Eliot and Flaubert’s shared fascination for the figure of theascetic saint, with special attention given to The Waste Land and La Tentation desaint Antoine. I examine how the structure, style and themes of these two worksin particular show the authors updating into a modernist context the model ofthe trial they inherit from saintly literature. I explore in detail the variedconnotations that the saint attracts, structuring my analysis on the basis ofdialectical tensions which allow me to trace the relation of the saint’s experienceto the theory and praxis of the two authors: the contrasting forms of discoursewithin each text, scientific and religious thought as distinct but potentiallycomplicit approaches to knowledge, or the contrapuntal relationship of desertand city, allow me to illustrate the texts’ enactment of a central paradox of theascetic’s via negativa – where the comprehensive vantage point to which theyaspire is only achieved through loss.I give extensive attention to the techniques and structure of each work, inwhich I elaborate the operative significance of the saint’s emblematic status. Myanalysis culminates in a reading of the Tentation and The Waste Land that stressestheir relation to an ascetic paradigm, which not only inheres through therecurrence of various motifs in the work of Eliot and Flaubert but is characteristicof modernism more generally. On the one hand expanding on undeveloped hintsin Eliot criticism, regarding both the influence of Flaubert and The Waste Land’srelation to the saint’s trial, whilst on the other allowing Flaubert’s Tentation tobenefit from the greater critical scrutiny given to its more canonical counterpart,the thesis enhances our understanding of both the individual authors and thebroader intellectual climate to which they belong." @default.
