The Cambridge Companion to T. S. Eliot

An international team of leading T.S. Eliot scholars contribute studies of different facets of the writer''s work to build up a carefully coordinated and fully rounded introduction. Five chapters give a complete account of Eliot''s poems and plays while others assess the major aspects of his life and thought. Later chapters place his work in historical perspective. There is a full review of Eliot studies and a useful chronological outline. Taken as a whole this Companion comprises an essential handbook for students and readers of T.S. Eliot.
