Reviews

This is an important book which should appeal to a wide range of scholars--those new to Eliot's poetry and prose as well as those who've been reading his work for many years. The collection makes use of the recently published Eliot materials now available to us all and also considers Eliot's work from fresh perspectives * John Whittier-Ferguson, Professor of English, University of Michigan, USA *


This is an important book which should appeal to a wide range of scholars--those new to Eliot's poetry and prose as well as those who've been reading his work for many years. The collection makes use of the recently published Eliot materials now available to us all and also considers Eliot's work from fresh perspectives * John Whittier-Ferguson, Professor of English, University of Michigan, USA * Multifaceted, polyvocal, and heterogenous, this thrilling collection speaks in different voices, from different viewpoints, like the endlessly proliferating poet who is its subject. Its centripetal force will unleash further debates and provocations for years to come. * Jahan Ramazani, University Professor and Edgar F. Shannon Professor at the University of Virginia, USA * Eliot Now aims to restart the project of reading and understanding the most dominant and the most enigmatic Anglophone poet of the 20th century. Drawing on the vast amounts of previously unknown material—poems, prose, and letters—that have appeared over the last few decades, the contributors to this collection reopen old questions and propose new ones. Some aspects of the life, particularly the long relationship with Emily Hale, emerge more fully known and yet remain more deeply mysterious than ever before. And readings of the poetry, especially by a group of contemporary poets, show why it still has the freshness that first made it so startling. * Michael North, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, UCLA, USA * A provocation and an inspiration, Eliot Now is the essential guide to reading T.S. Eliot in the twenty-first century. * Rebecca Beasley, Professor of Modernist Studies, University of Oxford, UK *
