To Criticize the Critic and Other Writings by T S Eliot

To Criticize the Critic and Other Writings by T S Eliot

These influential essay and lectures by T. S. Eliot span nearly a half century--from 1917, when he published The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, to 1961, four years before his death. With the luminosity and clarity of a first-rate intellect, Eliot considers the uses of literary criticism, the writers who had the greatest influence on his own work, and the importance of being truly educated. Every thoughtful person who yearns to do more than simply get through the day will be reinforced by The Aims of Education. Other pieces include To Criticize the Critic, From Poe to Val ry, American Literature and the American Language, What Dante Means to Me, The Literature of Politics, The Classics and the Man of Letters, Ezra Pound: His Metric and Poetry, and Reflections on Vers Libre.

""This volume covers almost the whole range of Eliot's development and at the same time gives us a revealing and moving sense of the man who told so much while remaining so reticent""—Stephen Spender, New York Times Book Review
