This book foregrounds aesthetic and thematic comparisons between diverse modern poetic works of a celebrated western poet, T. S.

Produktbeschreibung
This book foregrounds aesthetic and thematic comparisons between diverse modern poetic works of a celebrated western poet, T. S. Eliot and a celebrated Arab poet, Abdul-Wahab Al-Bayyati in the light of their aesthetic and cultural employment of myths as cultural symbols, archetypes and signs. Both poets culturally and contextually share many thematically artistic features, in particular the use of human mythopoetics and their associations, references and significations. Moreover, this book attempts to construct a poetic dialogue between the Western culture and the Arab culture, in which the poetically aesthetic influences of the first are abundant and influential in the poetics of the latter. Al-Bayyati is aware of benefiting from the epistemological and aesthetic innovations in modern poetics in order to enrich his poetic diction, in particular with mythopoetics and objective correlatives, paying special attention to Eliot's "mythical method" and "objective correlative" as two functional and aesthetic devices that inspired both poets. Intertextually, Al-Bayyati adopted these techniques in his modernized poems to make them best suit the modern era and its themes and events.
