Shucard, Alan; Moramarco, Fred; Sullivan, William (1990) [1989] (på engelska). Modern American poetry, 1865-1950. Amherst, Massachusetts: University of Massachusetts press. sid. 100. ISBN 0-87023-720-9. https://books.google.se/books?id=N0AtxcoLkC8C&pg=PA100. ”'The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock' remains a powerful poem for contemporary readers because it captures the anxiety, indecision, and social falsity that Eliot felt Characterizes twentieth-century life. It is a psychic journey through a collective male consciousness that sees the modern world bereft of meaning, desperate for human connections.”
