The definitive text of Eliot’s collected poems
"A monumental achievement, and one that frames important and timely questions about the state of Eliot’s reputation." —Guardian
T. S. Eliot’s Collected Poems 1909–1962, first published in the 1960s and reset in 2002, is Eliot's own lifelong curation of his poems. Over the years, certain printing discrepancies and modifications by publishers have crept in, not always in the text’s best interests. These have now been resolved conclusively in texts that are presented here in this new setting as a revised edition of Eliot’s classic volume.
This new edition will delight and inform all those who read Eliot for pleasure and for study. Here are the definitive marvels and landmarks, from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and The Waste Land through to Four Quartets.

About the Author:
Review:
THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT was born in St Louis, Missouri, in 1888. He moved to England in 1914 and published his first book of poems in 1917. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Eliot died in 1965.
Eliot's oeuvre is not as large as that of some poets, so one might as well begin early, with 'The Love-Song of J Alfred Prufrock', and move along through The Waste Land and so to his crowning achievement, The Four Quartets. Even to a non-Christian, these deeply considered, marmoreal reflections on belief and behaviour should be inescapable. Review by Richard Hoggart, whose books include 'The Uses of Literacy' and 'First and Last Things' (Kirkus Reviews )
