Journal Article
‘Caballero solo’: Eliot, Lawrence … Porter?
2018
Overview
Critics of Pablo Neruda's ‘Caballero solo’, from the first volume of
Residencia en la tierra
(1933), generally concur that the most significant literary influence on the poem is T. S. Eliot's
The Waste Land.
While acknowledging that source, this article argues that it is primarily Neruda's sustained reading of and aesthetic engagement with D. H. Lawrence during his time in Ceylon (1929–30) that gave rise to the poem and account for a number of its specific allusions and turns of phrase. It also raises the possibility that another, more popular source of inspiration might underlie the poem: the music of Cole Porter.
