This book presents a reading of T. S. Eliot's poetry, prose,
criticism, and drama, with particular reference to the nature of
his response to the influence of Percy Shelley in his own work. Not
just a book on literary criticism, this book is also an insightful
study of Eliot's spiritual life. It focuses on Eliot's Christian
faith and the role it played in molding his responses to the
writers who shaped his early works. Previous studies have ascribed
Eliot's subsequent repudiation of Romantic style and subject matter
to a Bloomian 'anxiety of influence', and asserted that the highly
classical style of his later work was a conscious renunciation of
earlier models. This book, however, introduces Eliot's Christian
faith as a means of approaching the issue. In doing so, Peter Lowe
opens up a field of Eliot studies not previously explored to the
depth it deserves. Christian Romanticism is a valuable contribution
to the field of Eliot studies-it sheds light on a case of poetic
influence that has been largely overlooked in previous criticism of
arguably the foremost poet of the Twentieth Century.
