T.S. Eliot: An Anthology of Recent Criticism
|
| Edited
by
Tapan Kumar Basu |
|
 |
Drawn from internationally acknowledged journals and thoroughly researched book projects, the material collated in this anthology examines the entire range of Eliot’s multifarious creative engagements, especially his early, middle and late poetry, his poetic drama, and his prose essays. The contributions bring to bear on the texts of Eliot a wide variety of literary theories and ideological perspectives, including neo-modernist view-points of structuralism, poststructuralism, and cultural materialism. Also, several of these essays make for comparative studies, probing the achievements and limitations of Eliot. The volume offers a fairly large number of fresh insights into the complex mind and art of the author, variously regarded as the ‘flagbearer of his age’ and the ‘greatest cultural reactionary of all times.’
