Opis

A wide-ranging and novel study of metaphor as the generative principle giving shape and substance to Eliot's poetic imagination.

Recenzje

'It's remarkable for its depth of knowledge of Eliot's work, in prose and in poetry (a pre-condition for such a book one might suppose but often less evident than in this case) as well as of her other sources. Sarah Kennedy draws selectively but astonishingly widely on her predecessors (paying due tribute) but her book stands out also for its penetration into the imaginative workings of Eliot the creative artist.' Chris Joyce, Exchanges (Newsletter of the T. S. Eliot Society)
