Eliade

[Terrance]

Eliade is an important Pynchon source. As far as I know the
accusation that Eliade was a Nazi is false, but I'm not much
interested in his biography and I have not studied Eliade
the person. 




Tainted Greatness: anti-Semitism and Cultural Heroes
Edited by Nancy Harrowitz (1994)
In recent years, important cultural figures such as Martin
Luther, Carl Jung, Mircea Eliade, Jean Genet, Ezra Pound,
Martin Heidegger, and Paul de Man have been exposed as
either proponents of, or otherwise tainted by, an
association with anti-Semitism. This collection of essays
examines that concept of "taintedness" and questions whether
the revelation of prejudice devalues the work of those
regarded as intellectual heroes.
