Publisher's Synopsis
This is an examination of T.S. Eliot's poetry in which the author considers the works against a background of the social and political problems of prejudice.;Eliot was writing at a time of great contradiction in thought; never has the accusation of prejudice been stronger, and yet never has there been so wide an agreement that no understanding of anything is possible without preconceptions.;Christopher Ricks is author of "Milton's Grand Style", "Tennyson", "Keats and Embarrassment" and "The Force of Poetry".
