<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A selection of the most significant and enduring poems from one of the twentieth century's major writers"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A selection of the most significant and enduring poems from one of the twentieth century's major writers, chosen and introduced by Vijay Seshadri</strong><br/><br/>T.S. Eliot was a towering figure in twentieth century literature, a renowned poet, playwright, and critic whose work--including "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1915), The Waste Land (1922), Four Quartets (1943), and Murder in the Cathedral (1935)--continues to be among the most-read and influential in the canon of American literature. </p><p><em>The Essential T.S. Eliot </em>collects Eliot's most lasting and important poetry in one career-spanning volume, now with an introduction from Vijay Seshadri, one of our foremost poets. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Vijay Seshadri's Introduction to Eliot is one of the best things that I've ever read on Eliot. Maybe the best--an astonishment, after a lifetime of reading about Eliot. Sample: "'The Waste Land' is overpowering in its sense of the isolation of the spirit trapped in violent materiality." I don't know of another essay that so compellingly sets out how unique, how bold the poems are, how radical.--Frank Bidart<br>
