Description
In Eliot and the Art of Collaboration, Richard Badenhausen characterizes Eliot's relationship to other poets in a number of ways--as "conversation alliance," using Eliot's own words; as reliance on a "stabilizing field"," and, overarchingly, as collaboration, meaning a form of companionship that implies dependence (qtd. in Daumer). The Eliotic need to eradicate the self, and its intimate relationship with his poetic process, are highlighted in his citation of Eliot's remark to Aiken, that "it's interesting to cut yourself to pieces once in awhile, and see if the fragments will sprout," with the implication lent by his relationship with Aiken that they may sprout collaboration (qtd. in Daumer). Elisabeth Daumer's review discusses Badenhausen's focus on the Eliotic modes of self eradication and submission, suggesting that the book foregoes a chance to focus on "alternative models of collaboration" (Daumer). Ronald Bush suggests that Badenhausen's model of collaboration draws little from Koestenbaum "s discussion (Bush 5 70), among others, that suggest a polymorphous relationship among Eliot and his collaborators. Both discussions necessitate the thought that Eliot's relationship with collaborators be defined by progression, rather than static connection. His use of collaboration may follow the evolution that characterized his work, from what Wilson characterizes as his "early irony" to the reconciliation of Four Quartets. That movement may be most clearly traced through his evolving representations of Yeats.
