The twentieth century's most famous poet and its most influential
literary arbiter, T.S. Eliot has long been thought to be an obscure
and difficult writer-forbiddingly learned, maddeningly enigmatic.
In this compelling exploration, prize-winning poet Craig Raine
finds a way to read and make sense of Eliot's full corpus. He
illuminates a paradoxical Eliot--an exacting anti-romantic realist,
skeptical of the emotions, yet incessantly troubled by the fear of
emotional failure--through close readings of his poetry, with
extended analyses of Eliot's two master works--The Waste Land and
FourQuartets. 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 his
biography, crafting a book that provides a concise introduction for
beginners and a provocative set of arguments for Eliot admirers.
