Abstract

There is a literary tradition of post mortem encounters. The necessary antecedent concerning Dante’s voyage is Virgil. This article is about the Dantesque basis on which persons concerned with poetical practices or linguistic aspects meet. 

The two chosen English-speaking poets are Wilfred Owen, who died in the First World War, 1918 and T. S. Eliot, who places a scene described in a section included in his fourth Quartet within the environment of a bombardment on London during the Second World War. In this case there is no clear evidence that both speakers are dead.
