"Decoding 'The Burial of the Dead'" is an original essay in progress which looks at the hidden Biblical language of "The Burial of the Dead" using Biblical allusions used in the Anglican service [[Order for the Burial of the Dead]], as well as the Biblical allusions central to the section itself, as catalogued below. By concentrating on frequently occurring terms in these Biblical allusions, and cross-referencing them, as well as by a literary comparison of the "Order" and of the "Burial," the essay attempts to address Eliot's complex vision of the future of the Western world, as it emerges from the ruins of social decay.
