T. S. Eliot's allusions to Indic philosophy in several poems - from
the Sanskrit ending of The Waste Land to the 'What Krishna meant'
section of Four Quartets - have puzzled and intrigued readers since
the poems first appeared. In T. S. Eliot and Indic Traditions,
Professor Cleo McNelly Kearns places Eliot's lifelong interest in
Indic philosophy and religion in the context of his concomitant
studies in Western philosophy and his views on literary theory and
poetic practice. The author establishes the depth and extent of his
knowledge not only of Sanskrit and Pali texts but also of the
scholarly tradition through which they were interpreted in the
West. She explores as well Eliot's keen sense of the important
distinctions between specific schools of thought. Kearns concludes
that Eliot was less interested in synthesizing various traditions
than in comparing texts and traditions for what he called 'the
difference they can make to one another'.
