have entered the literary and cultural life of countries other than England=20
and=20
the United States where his reception has already been well documented. =20
Submissions might address the different ways in which readers, critics, and=20
writers from other cultural contexts have responded to Eliot's words, ideas, and=20
politics--whether by assimilating, interrogating, subverting or rejecting them. =20
Of particular interest is the encounter, within postcolonial, even colonial=20
spaces, between indigenous voices and Eliot as a canonical English writer. =20
Other submissions might focus on the matter of modernist poetics in respective=20
world traditions as they are manifested in, or translated through, responses to=20
