Description

Schuchard's critical study draws upon previously unpublished and uncollected materials in showing how T.S. Eliot's personal voice works through the sordid, the bawdy, the blasphemous, and the horrific to create a unique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.

Winner of the Robert Penn Warren/Cleanth Brooks Prize for Criticism, 1999
Reviews
Stands out as one of the best books on Eliot in recent years ... Revealing the complexity of Eliot's life and work - against a simplistic, critical consensus - is a strength of each one of these essays. * Review of English Studies *
Excellent monograph ... Schuchard's book ranks among the most considerable contributions of the year for significantly revising some central planks of the standard biographical narrative, let alone the discourse ... This is a book to be savoured. * Years Work in English Studies *
This book ... is a major landmark in Elio scholarship and criticism. * The Glass *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
