Description
T. S. Eliot, the most famous poet and critic of his age, went through a long period of darkness in his personal life. But it was also a time when he discovered a foundation for existence in the Christian faith. /Four Quartets/, one of the great poems of the twentieth century, written when Eliot was at the height of his powers, reflects that journey while arriving at an ultimate hopefulness about life. This book will help its readers enter the poem in a way which will often resonate with their own journey of faith, giving them a profound peace of mind.
Advance Praise
"All the way through reading this book, it felt authoritative and a pleasure to enter into the author's meeting with the poet at his greatest."
— Craig Raine, Poet and Author of T. S. Eliot
"This book understands Eliot's quest for fresh language to quieten the mind, and to disturb the soul, into a deeper communion. What a wonderful guide to discover this poem's urgent richness."
— Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwark
"Again and again, I find the author hitting the right point on the nail . The clear-eyed, deft commentary is so completely helpful to students and general readers who are new to this demanding, beautiful material."
— Lyndall Gordon, T. S. Eliot’s biographer
"I was thoroughly absorbed even when I differed."
— Professor John Haffenden, Editor of the T. S. Eliot's letters
