Remapping Modernism: Focusing on T. S. Eliot and Mina Loy

Mainly exploring Eliot and Loy, this essay examines their networks of literary modernism in relation to their journal publications. By excavating their uses of the words in the poems, I assume that their interrelationships came from literary magazines fluorescent at that time. Journal publication was quite important, and most modernist, even contemporary poets were communicating with each other in their works. Thus, I work on the use of poetic words in order to trace the influence of literary modernists on each other. In addition, quoting significant lines in Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”(1915) and The Waste Land(1922), and Loy’s “Songs to Joaness,”(“Love Songs,” 1915-1917), I attempt to find what similarities and differences they have. In terms of Kristevan connection of flesh/flash in “Stabat Mater,” The Waste Land’s “Murmur of maternal lamentation” is explained and anticipates further research.
