seen as a way of advancing to the next stage and improving the cultural values of the past. However‚ for T.S. Eliot‚ modernity had ruptured its connection to a more vital past and was as a result impoverished. History is instead characterized by regression and ruptures.

Eliot’s “The Waste Land” Final Paper Eliot imparts to us the Grail quest’s influence on “The Waste Land” in the notes: “Not only the title‚ but the plan and a good deal of the incidental symbolism of the poem were suggested by Miss Jessie L.
