Existentialist, phenomenologist, structuralist, psychoanalytic, feminist, and poststructuralist theories appeared and stimulated dazzling conversations about how texts mean. Bloom, Miller, Poulet, Gadamer, Foucault, Lacan, Kristeva, and Derrida are just a few of the critics who have contributed to these conversations. These studies have enormous value for critics interested in Eliot. In the first place, they have popularized insights about language which are central in Eliot poetry from \"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock\" to Four Quartets. Anyone who doubts this should read Derrida \"Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences\" and follow up with a reading of part 5 of each of Four Quartets. In the second place, the studies in theory have created an audience that will be able to appreciate Eliot's dissertation and early philosophical work, an audience unthinkable a generation ago.”",

What happened to him?\" I glance over at her, the way the corner of her mouth turns up, half-smirk, half-smile. Her hair moves as she walks. He was called to be a disciple, but he had, you know, stuff to do.\" Stuff, like...polishing his sandals? Making lunch?\" We keep walking, over the bridge across the lake, past the swings and the playground equipment, just walking. Exactly. And what about you, Calliope...is everyone in your family named after a...what is it? A keyboard? An organ?\" It's a steam-powered piano. It's also the name of the Greek goddess of poetry. You should read stuff other than chemistry; you'd know these things.\" Her smirky smile again, her sleeve touching my arm. I feel like my skin has been removed, every nerve exposed. I open my mouth, and this comes out: \"I think you are more goddess than piano.\" Stupid, stupid. But she laughs. \"You know, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me today.\" You don't see too many calliopes,\" I tell her. I'm Cal, actually. I mean, that's what I prefer.\" I meant the steam pianos...you don't see too many.\" She stops and looks at me, full-on, and right away I put it on the list of the best moments in my life. Until you said that, Eliot, I wasn't fully aware of the demise of the steam piano, so thank you. Really.\" I smirk at her and we both fight not to smile. \"Okay, smart-ass,\" I say.”",
