This collection of essays on the work of T. S. Eliot contains a variety of materials for approaching the writings of one of the twentieth century’s most influential writers: overviews of his career and his importance in the opening section; followed by a group of original essays focusing on relevant contexts and critical reception and illustrating interpretive choices; and the longest section, devoted to previously published essays by established scholars on Eliot’s critical writing, his drama, and the whole range of his poetry from early to late in his career. A section of “Resources” rounds out the collection, including a chronology of Eliot’s life, a list of his works, and a bibliography.
