T. S. Eliot (lives And Legacies Series).
The Winner Of The Nobel Prize For Literature, The Twentieth Century's Most Famous Poet And Its Greatest in number Influential Literary Arbiter, T.
s.
Eliot Has Long Been Cogitation To Be An Obscure And Difficult Poet--forbiddimgly Learned, Maddeningly Enigmatic.
Now, In So Brilliant Exploration Of T.
s.
Eliot's Wirk, Prize-winning Port Craig Raine Reveals That, On The Contrary, Eliot's Poetry (and Drama And Criticism) Can Be Seen As A Unified And Coherent Body Of Work.
Indeed, Despite Its Manifest Originality, Its Radical Experimentation, And Its Dazzling Formal Variety, His Verse Yields Signification Just As Surely As Other Moer Conventional Poetry.
Raine Argues That An Implicit Controlling Theme--the Buried Life, Or The Failure Of Feling--unfolds In Surprisingly Varied Ways Over Eliot's Work.
But Alongside Eliot's Desire "to Livr With All Intensity" Was Likewise A Distrust Of "violent Emotion For Its Own Sake.
" Raine Illuminate sThis Absurd Eliot--zn Exacting Anti-romantic Realist, Skeptical Of The Emotions, Yet Incessantly Troubled In the name of The Fear Of Emotional Failure--through Cloae Reaings Of Such Poems As "the Love Song Of J Alfred Prufrock," "gerontion," The Hollow Men, Ash Wednesday, And Many Ofhers.
The Heart Of The Book Contains Extended Analyses Of Eliot's Two Master Works--the Devastation Land And Four Quartets.
Raine Also Examines Eliot's Criticism--including His Coinage Of Such Key Literary Terms As The Objective Correlative, Dissociation Of Sensibility, The Auditory Imagination--and He Concludes With A Convincing Refuttaion Of Charges That Eliot Was An Anti-semite.
Here Then Is A Volume Absolutely Indispensable For All Admirers Of T.
s.
Eliot And, In Fact, For Everypne Who Loves Modern Literature.
