Eliot and His Age: T. S. Eliot's Moral Imagination in the Twentieth Century by Benjamin G. Lockerd, Russell Kirk, T.S. Eliot

zwbarnes's review against another edition

4.0

I understand more of my favorite poet than I did before reading. The last 100 pages justify the length for those looking for a personal recounting of Eliot’s thoughts on himself, his place in time, and his work that refuses to be limited by it.

Very informative, if a bit too long. I really enjoyed the parts when Kirk discussed Eliot and his philosophy and the philosophy of specific poetry (esp. Waste Land, Hollow Men, and Prufrock) but the other parts that discussed the world of the time had a tendency to drag.
