Abstract

In this article, from the perspective of comparative vision, T S. Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’ and Mu Dan’s poetry with the theme of the ‘waste land’ are intended to be the primary research objects. Based on the homology in the influence of the two schools and the multiple similarities in poetic images, styles and qualities, this paper contrasted the two texts. In order to have a more specific, detailed and solid grasp of Mu Dan’s writing from a specific perspective, the article estimates the modernity embodied in Eliot’s ‘The Wasteland’ from the perspective of theoretical positioning, classifies and exemplifies to summarize the characteristics of Mu Dan’s ‘waste land’ theme and poems with similar themes, comparing them with The Wasteland, pointing out their differences in the sense of modernity and tries to discuss the reasons for their formation. The article also makes a clear and brief comb of the definition and connotation of modernity and takes the aesthetic modernity in the modernity terminology group as the main concern object, pointing out its causes and core laws. Eliot and Mu Dan’s writing conforms to this law from different levels, which being divorced from the univocal style similarity in terms of ideological harmony.
