Humility may be a queenly, cardinal or monkish virtue, while humiliation points to an affective state at the extreme end of shame. Yet a shared etymology links the words to lowliness and, further down, to the earth. As this study suggests, like the terms in question, T. S. Eliot and Samuel Beckett share an imperfect likeness. Between them is a common interest in states of abjection, shame and suffering - and possible responses to such states. Tracing the relation between negative affect, ethics, and aesthetics, \u003ci\u003eEliot and Beckett's Low Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how these two major modernists recuperate the affinity between humility and humiliation - concepts whose definitions have largely been determined by philosophy and theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick de Villiers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Becketts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474479042","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710643933321,"sku":"9781474479042","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1ea8da85-a0b2-4670-a73a-b99f19a94ee9.jpg?v=1719540383","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/eliot-and-becketts-low-modernism-humility-and-humiliation-9781474479042","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
