Eliot's oeuvre is not as large as that of some poets, so one might
as well begin early, with 'The Love-Song of J Alfred Prufrock', and
move along through The Waste Land and so to his crowning
achievement, The Four Quartets. Even to a non-Christian, these
deeply considered, marmoreal reflections on belief and behaviour
should be inescapable. Review by Richard Hoggart, whose books
include 'The Uses of Literacy' and 'First and Last Things' (Kirkus
UK)
'Each year Eliot's presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to
an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more
astonished, more humble.' Ted Hughes Poet, dramatist, critic and
editor, T. S. Eliot was one of the defining figures of
twentieth-century poetry. This edition of Collected Poems 1909-1962
includes his verse from Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) to
Four Quartets (1943), and includes such literary landmarks as The
Waste Land and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.
