The literary roots of T.S. Eliot’s body of work is a mainstream scholarly topic, however S. Kennedy is less interested in direct allusions to the texts that T.S. Eliot used, and more in how the poet’s imagination worked. She studies in detail three clusters of metaphors: sea-change, light and darkness, and doppelgangers.
