Abstract
The final question I wish to address is why Lawrence’s and Eliot’s fortunes differed so greatly in British culture between the two world wars, and continue to in the present. As a cultural era Modernism has been judged by Eliot’s achievements and failings, rather than by Lawrence’s — whose failings are considered more strictly his own. I want to examine this issue by laying stress on the legacy of these wars in the formation of what has been often called the “age of Eliot”, not the “age of Lawrence”.
