27. Otway in 'The Waste Land': a dog story

Author

Bergman, David

Subjects
English drama -- Influence, Dogs -- Portrayals, Anthropology/archeology/folklore, History, Literature/writing
Abstract

T.S. Eliot's poem 'The Waste Land' alludes to Thomas Otway's play ' The Soldiers Fortune' in the use of dog imagery. A passage in 'Fortune' that refers to dogs digging up corpses parallels a similar passage in Eliot's poem. In addition, Otway's use of the word 'quest' as referring to dog hunting likewise mirrors the 'quest' motif of 'Land.' However, Eliot probably chose to suppress references to Otway, who lived from 1652 to 1685, because of the explicitly homosexual element in 'Fortune.'
