Opis

Traces the life of T S Eliot from his childhood in the ragtime city of St Louis right up to the publication of his most famous poem, The Waste Land. This book reveals him in all his vulnerable complexity as student and lover, banker and philosopher, but most of all as an epoch-shaping poet struggling to make art among personal disasters.

Recenzje

Young Eliot marks both a milestone and a turning point... [It] is judicious, sympathetic, meticulous.... The story it tells of a great poet's early life is enthralling. Robert McCrum Observer
