The typical modernist work, Paris by Hope Mirrlees, has not been so much mentioned after its publication in 1919. This rather long poem has many original aspects in its expressions adopting a variety of allusion from the history of Paris, French phrases, monologues, ancient Greek and Roman myth, and Christian rites. It anticipated the wellknown masterpiece, The Waste Land published in 1922. She was a friend of T.S. Eliot for years and might influence him through her work. This thesis aims at investigating both Paris and The Waste Land and studying their common source of anthropological works at that time. Main characteristics of both poems will be described at first and then the source and techniques will be analyzed.
