Humility and humiliation have an awkward, often unacknowledged
intimacy. Humility may be a queenly, cardinal or monkish virtue,
while humiliation points to an affective state at the extreme end
of shame. Yet a shared etymology links the words to lowliness and,
further down, to the earth. As this study suggests, like the terms
in question, T. S. Eliot and Samuel Beckett share an imperfect
likeness. Between them is a common interest in states of abjection,
shame and suffering - and possible responses to such states.
Tracing the relation between negative affect, ethics, and
aesthetics, Eliot and Beckett's Low Modernism demonstrates how
these two major modernists recuperate the affinity between humility
and humiliation - concepts whose definitions have largely been
determined by philosophy and theology.
