| Apr 6, 2019 at 17:51 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor♦ | @fundagain This question isn't meant to support the claims of plagiarism (nor to deny them). I just recently found out about these accusations, which surprised me, and wanted to find out if there's any truth in them. Fortunately, looks like we have a few users with the expertise to answer this for me :-) | |

| Apr 5, 2019 at 17:36 | comment | added | fundagain | @Rand al'Thor, there has always been the debate that The Waste Land was plagiarised from Ulysses (newsandtimes.com/2017/05/…), and I think that that debate has morphed into truly nonsensical statements as above. Does your question include the original debate? PS: I know this debate well from Joyce, but it is different. | |
| Apr 5, 2019 at 17:05 | comment | added | fundagain | I am going to upvote this question, because if this rubbish is in the public domain it should be examined, and this is the best site to deal with this. | |
| Apr 5, 2019 at 16:56 | comment | added | fundagain | Of course Joyce has always complained that Eliot plagiarised The Waste Land directly from Ulysses... | |
| Apr 5, 2019 at 16:54 | comment | added | fundagain | LOL: "T.S. Eliot, one of the best-known American poets, plagiarized much of his work “The Waste Land” which, according to the Cracked article was “Most of ‘The Waste Land’ was just cobbled together out of quotes from other writers,” which is a fairly apt description." Any cobbler who end up creating The Waste Land is a master-builder in my books. And if we going to talk about cobbling from others, surely Joyce out plagiarises Eliot! | |
