  • More about T. S. Eliot's Ariel Poems: Making Sense of the Times

T. S. Eliot's The Ariel Poems responded to contemporary issues of his time, such as the revision of the Book of Common Prayer, Heidegger's translations, and leadership and populism. This study outlines the constellations of thought connecting Eliot's poetry and prose and exposes the shared arc of meaning that unites them into a conceptually discrete set. It universalizes and historicises the series, offering new intellectual contexts and interpretations.

T.S. Eliot's profound statement that the supreme poet in writing himself, writes his time, holds immense significance. By honoring Dante and Shakespeare, Eliot not only acknowledged their profound contributions to literature but also showcased the remarkable resonance of his own work, particularly his Ariel Poems. These poems, composed with unwavering regularity, one per year, emerged during a period when Eliot primarily focused on prose. Like his prose, the Ariel Poems echoed with diverse contemporary issues, spanning from the revision of the Book of Common Prayer to the translations of Heidegger, as well as addressing the challenges of leadership and populism.

To emphasize the historical specificity of Eliot's poetry, this study aims to delineate the constellation of thought that connects his poetry and prose. Furthermore, it seeks to unveil the shared arc of meaning that underpins the Ariel Poems, serving as an unobtrusive incarnational metaphor shaping their perspective on the era. This study represents the first endeavor to universalize and historicize the Ariel series, striving to reveal the regularity without suppressing the randomness. Approaching the series as a system of orderly disorder, deeply rooted in chaos theory, it offers fresh intellectual contexts and interpretations that are either novel or significantly reangled.
