Hi,

I have just started my final year of my undergraduate degree in English Literature, and contemplating my dissertation topic.

I was considering a study of existentialism or existential angst in the poetry of T.S.Eliot. I was wondering if anybody could help direct me in how to go about this?

Any subjects areas I should delve into?

Any texts that may be of use?

Maybe you think this topic doesn't have legs and I should ditch it all together.

I would really appreciate any advice.

There are lots of texts on existentialism. Screeds have been written on Eliot. There is plenty of angst in his earlier poetry so Yep I reckon with work you could make that idea get up and trot.
