Description
In 1985, twenty years after T.S. Eliot's death, a special number of The Southern Review was published that was devoted entirely to his life and work. This book, with some additions and excisions, make that number available to a wider audience in the year that marks the 100th anniversary of Eliot's birth. The collection combines memoirs and critical pieces by thirty-seven contributors, including a previously unpublished lecture by Eliot himself, to present a collective reevaluation of his life and work. The contributors include A. Walton Litz, Cleanth Brooks, Ronald Bush, Christopher Fry, Sir Alec Guinness, Harry Levin, M.L. Rosenthal, Stanley Sultan, and many others.
