Abstrakt: The paper demonstrates that there is a direct relationship between the plurilingualism of Dante's "Commedia" and T. S. Eliot's polyglot and multistylistic poetic idiom. It argues that in Dante's oeuvre Eliot observed a technique of cultural reference through which he felt he could recover the mind of Europe and sought to stimulate plurilingual reading as a pre-condition of a renewed unity.
