At long last, T. S. Eliot's prose, together in this definitive 8-volume collection. This monumental eight-volume edition of modern literature brings together, for the first time in print, all of the vastly influential prose writings of Nobel laureate T. S. Eliot, the poet and dramatist whose theories and criticism shaped twentieth-century thought and literature around the world. This complete collection provides access to over 6,000 pages of Eliot's nonfiction prose writings on literature, philosophy, religion, cultural theory, world politics, and other topics of urgent and enduring import. It includes all of the essays that he collected in his lifetime, but also more than 1,000 uncollected, unrecorded, or unpublished items, many of which were missing or inaccessible for decades. From the formative "Interpretation of Primitive Ritual" (1913), written in graduate school at Harvard, to the summative "To Criticize the Critic" (1961), the Complete Prose offers readers full access to the immense scope and variety of Eliot's works in their biographical, historical, and cultural context. The individual volumes have received the highest praise from prominent scholars: volume II won the Modernist Studies Association's 2015 Book Prize for an Edition, Anthology, or Essay Collection, while volumes V and VI were jointly awarded the 2017 Prize for a Scholarly Edition by the Modern Language Association. They display "uniform excellence," wrote the Awards Committee: "Their thorough textual introductions, sophisticated annotations merging intelligent commentary with brevity and completeness, make the volumes a pleasure to read . . . and enlarge our understanding of Eliot as the public intellectual at work." Together with recent editions of the Poems, the eight volumes of Letters, and the sensational opening in 2020 of Eliot's letters to Emily Hale, the Complete Prose brings us to the threshold of a new age for the study of Eliot and the modernist writers of his day. Project MUSE is home to the fully searchable online edition of The Complete Prose of T. S. Eliot.

Descriptive catalogue of a Grolier Club exhibition held held May 15 - July 27, 2002, illustrating Irish poetry, drama, and the novel. Organized decade by decade, it documents the careers of outstanding authors through books, manuscripts, letters, photographs, broadsides, and art. The catalogue opens with Samuel Beckett's manuscript notebook for Waiting for Godot and proceeds up to the present with drafts of Michael Longley's The Weather in Japan (winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize for Po-etry 2000). Other items show the development of Seamus Heaney's career, including exemplary manuscripts and the poet's Nobel Prize medal. A sequel to The Grolier Club's 1962 show, The Indomitable Irishry, this exhibition drew on the extensive Irish literary collections of the Robert W. Woodruff Library of Emory University, as well as other institutional and private collections. Designed by Jerry Kelly, and printed in an edition of 500 copies.

Schuchard's critical study draws upon previously unpublished and uncollected materials in showing how Eliot's personal voice works through the sordid, the bawdy, the blasphemous and the horrific to create a unique moral world and the only theory of moral criticism in English literature. The book also erodes conventional attitudes toward Eliot's intellectual and spiritual development, showing how early and consistently his classical and religious sensibility manifests itself in his poetry and criticism. The book examines his reading, his teaching, his bawdy poems and his life long attraction to music halls and other modes of popular culture to show the complex relation between intellectual biography and art.
