There is an examination of his early works, as well as a look at his final years and lasting literary legacy. The book may be considered part biography and part a reader's companion.

Special emphasis is placed on works often included in the curriculum such as The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, The Waste Land, The Hollow Men, Ash Wednesday, and Four Quartets. There is also a chapter entitled The Poet as Playwright that examines Eliot's works that have appeared on stage, and another chapter entitled The Poet as Critic which examines some of Eliot's essays. A chronology, extensive chapter notes, a glossary of useful terms for literary criticism, suggestions for further reading, and selected Internet addresses are included.
