The article examines the concept of time and space in T. S. Eliot's major poems, highlighting how modern scientific, philosophical, and cultural developments reshaped literary perceptions of temporality and spatiality. It analyzes Eliot's use of exterior, interior, and liminal spaces, as well as myth as a structural and symbolic device to unify past, present, and future. The study discusses Eliot's spatial form, abrupt shifts in setting, mythic method, and philosophical underpinnings drawn from metaphysics and modernism. By examining works such as The Waste Land and Four Quartets, the paper demonstrates how Eliot transcends linear time and geographical boundaries to express universal human consciousness, spiritual barrenness, and the possibility of regeneration.
