  Article:   RITES OF PASSAGE IN ELIOT’S ASH-WEDNESDAY.

Authors:  CARMEN BORBÉLY.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  The paper explores the imaginary register of Ash-Wednesday and tracks the attempts of memory to recapture a plenitudinary past through a re-constellation of archetypes: from the prevalently theriomorphic imagery of corporeal decay to thanatic rites of initiation, understood as stages in a spiritual quest for self-discovery, and governed by an underlying mythical pattern of regeneration.
