News at Eleven: Here is how [Craig] Raine handles

the matter (there's no other way to demonstrate his technique than to quote at length):

"These are very difficult poems. Yet [Anthony] Julius is prepared to preface hostile readings of Eliot's poems thus: 'While the poem cannot be reduced to a resolvable riddle, its hostility to Jews is instantly recognizable'; 'whatever its interpretative obscurities . . .' In other words: 'I do not understand this poetry but I know for a certainty it is anti-Semitic.'"

from Jewish Exponent: 'Underneath the Lot'
