Résumé documentaire — langue originale

The aim of this thesis is to analyze T. S. Eliot's use of myths and legends in The WasteLand as the unifying principles and means of bringing order into the disordered, chaoticpostwar atmosphere of the early twentieth-century Europe.The early decades of the twentieth-century was a period of transition experiencing aclash between the established values of the previous century and the new trends andrapid changes of the following century. The First World War can be regarded as themost important historical event in the first quarter of the twentieth-century, consideringthe scale of the economical damage and human loss and the sudden crisis ofconsciousness that occured throughout Europe. Triggered by the First World War, rapidchanges in various fields tended to deconstruct the established norms, systems andbeliefs, both physical and spiritual, without offering any alternative. This created acumulative effect on modern man causing a sense of emptiness, a crisis of belief, and achaotic, fragmentary atmosphere, and total disorder throughout Europe. Eliot, in TheWaste Land, written in 1922, aims to give a postwar European panorama and to presentthe possibility of re-forming the postwar chaotic, fragmentary atmosphere of Europe, inthe early twentieth-century.Influenced by the introduction of new fields of science, such as anthropology andethnology at the turn of the twentieth-century, and thus, the recent changes in theunderstanding of past cultures and traditions, especially of myths and legends, Eliotbelieves in the reconstructive power of myths and past traditions. He chooses twoimportant works, Jessie Weston's From Ritual To Romance, and Frazer's The GoldenBough, as the main important sources of reference in The Waste Land. Eliot emphasizesthe function of myths and legends in bringing order, and alternative solutions to theuncertainties of the postwar period. Developing ?the mythical method? throughout TheWaste Land, Eliot alludes to many myths, legends and fertility rituals and draws aparallel between the contemporary and ancient worlds. He uses the Fisher King myth asthe main symbol for the sterility and spiritual dryness after the First World War. Eliot,observing the lack of order and erosion of traditional values in contemporary life afterthe First World War, and believing that civilizations need these common values to keeptheir people together, offers past traditions, especially myths and legends, as remedy forthe sterility and chaos of modern life. He, thus, re-constructs the modern reality throughmyths and legends in The Waste Land.Key WordsT. S. Eliot, The Waste Land, modernist poetry, myth, legend, fertility rituals, J. G.Frazer, The Golden Bough, Jessie Weston, From Ritual to Romance, the fisher kingmyth.
