Abstract
The work of Eliot, Joyce and Pound is often taken to represent a moment when, in Eliot’s words, ‘Psychology (such as it is, and whether our reaction to it be comic or serious), ethnology, and The Golden Bough have concurred to make possible what was impossible even a few years ago.’ Psychology, ethnology, The Golden Bough: these, Eliot thought, were the frames of reference or the vocabularies which might be expected to accommodate literary innovation.
