First sentence: THE FOLLOWING treatment of the work of perhaps the century's preeminent architect of the culture concept, T. S. Eliot, operates essentially backwards, beginning with Eliot's relatively late (1948) disquisition on the culture concept, Notes towards the Definition of Culture, and progressing back to his poetic masterwork of 1922, The Waste Land.
