regarded from the perspective that interpretation (explanation) threatens to disclose
what is feared or denied; hence the strong element of repression in Eliot’s hostility
towards interpretation and self–expression. Women or the female are among what is
being repressed, but Eliot is also constantly trying to overcome his antagonisms.
My own motivation in writing this paper can, at the risk of sounding pretentious,
best be described in the words of the American poet Denise Levertov, “Pleasures”: “I
like to find / what’s not found / at once, but lies / within something of another nature
...” In no way have I been trying to perform any kind of Ehrenrettung of Eliot confronted
with feminist criticism.
