When Denis Donoghue left Warrenpoint and went to Dublin in
September 1946, he entered University College as a student of Latin
and English. A few months later he also started as a student of
lieder at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. These studies have
informed his reading of English, Irish, and American literature.
Now in this volume, one of our most distinguished readers of modern
literature offers his most personal book of literary criticism.
Donoghue's Words Alone is an intellectual memoir, a lucid and
illuminating account of his engagement with the works of T. S.
Eliot-from initial undergraduate encounters with "The Love Song of
J. Alfred Prufrock" to later submission to Eliot's entire writings.
"The pleasure of Eliot's words persists," Donoghue says, "only
because in good faith it can't be denied." Submission to Eliot, in
Donoghue's case, involves the ear as much as it does the mind. He
is a reader who listens attentively and a writer whose own music in
these pages commands attention. Whether he is writing about Eliot's
poetry or confronting the (often contentious) prose, Donoghue
eloquently demonstrates what it means to read and to hear a master
of language.
