| Abstract |
"Drawing on the latest developments in scholarship and criticism, The New Cambridge Companion to T.S. Eliot opens up fresh avenues of appreciation and inquiry to a global twenty-first century readership. Emphasizing major works and critical issues, this collection of newly commissioned essays from leading international scholars provides seven full chapters reassessing Eliot's poetry and drama; explores important contemporary critical issues that were untreated in the previous Companion, such as the significance of gender and sexuality; and challenges received accounts of his controversial critical reception. Complete with a chronology of Eliot's life and work and an up-to-date select bibliography, this authoritative and accessible introduction to Eliot's complete oeuvre will be an essential resource for students" --Page 4 of cover. |
