About The Book
Introduction to T. S. Eliot's Poetry by Martin Scofield offers a detailed and insightful examination of the works of one of the most important poets of the 20th century. Designed as a comprehensive guide for both students and general readers, this book delves into Eliot's major poems, poetic dramas, and sections of his prose criticism. The study places these works within the context of Eliot's broader literary development, his life, and his philosophical and religious inquiries.
The book explores key themes such as the use of personae, musical effects, the tension between fragmentation and cohesion in The Waste Land, and the influence of symbolism, imagism, surrealism, and even comedy in Eliot's writing. One of the recurring themes is the relationship between life experience and artistic expression, and how Eliot's beliefs shaped his poetry.
Through clear and engaging analysis, particularly of Four Quartets, Scofield provides readers with a deeper understanding of Eliot's complex poetic techniques and themes, making this an essential read for anyone interested in T. S. Eliot's work.
