Abstract
T.S. Eliot dedicated the final version of The Waste Land to Ezra Pound, calling him «il miglior fabbro» after Guinizzelli’s definition of Arnaut Daniel in Purgatorio XXVI. Setting out to investigate the continuities and the differences between the two writers, this article shows how extensively his revisions and suggestions shaped Eliot’s work.
