In this tightly argued work, Dr. Wallen draws out the similarities
and connections which exist between T.S. Eliot and several writers
of the nineteen-thirties. Given the influence, novelty and (in the
early years of the decade at least) notoriety of Eliot's poetry
throughout this period, it is natural to expect his influence to
be, in some ways, very direct and observable. The author chooses to
single out five poets and one novelist of the period for special
and detailed attention. This is due to his belief that Eliot's
creative influence on the nineteen-thirties can be best
demonstrated in all its complexity by reference to a number of
specific writers. In other words, the connections between Eliot and
these six writers typifies the nature of Eliot's influence on the
decade as a whole. This influence moves from virtual plagiarism in
Ronald Bottrall's case to a smart but derivative stylishness in the
works of Auden and Spender-and finally through to a more
intelligent and indirect debt in the case of William Empson and
Evelyn Waugh.
