Octavio Paz and T. S. Eliot
Octavio Paz (1914-1998) declared that when he discovered The Waste Land in Spanish translation as a sixteen-year-old, it 'opened the doors of modern poetry'. The influence of T. S. Eliot would accompany Paz throughout his career, defining many of his key poems and pronouncements. Yet Paz's attitude towards his precursor was ambivalent. Boll's study traces the history of Paz's engagement with Eliot in Latin American and Spanish periodicals of the 1930s and 40s.

By reading Eliot in a Latin American context, it also offers new perspectives on relations between Anglo-American modernism and the International avant-garde. Book jacket.
