- Title
'WAINSCOT' AND 'TROTS' IN ELIOT'S 'EAST COKER' I.
- Authors
Bratcher, James T.
- Abstract
The author focuses on the words "wainscot" and "trots" in T.S. Eliot's poem "East Coker." The author claims that Eliot first used the words a decade before he wrote the poem, including them in a lecture he gave at Trinity College in England. The lecture was about the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, and Eliot discussed a simile that included the words "wainscot" and "trot." The author reports that the source of the simile was the Marprelate tracts.
