Items related to Collected Poems 1909-1962 (Faber Poetry)
No book has done more to define modern poetry than T. S. Eliot’s Collected Poems. The pinnacle of a lifetime’s curation by Eliot himself, it was initially published in 1936, and then revised by Eliot to form the present edition of the text that was issued in 1963. But over the course of a lifetime, and throughout its many printings, variants, discrepancies, authorial revisions and printers’ errors have introduced anomalies that have served to undermine the authority of the volume. This new, reset publication establishes a corrected and reliable text for Eliot’s poetry that enables an authoritative edition of Collected Poems 1909–1962 to be presented here for the very first time.

About the Author:
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St Louis, Missouri, in 1888. He came 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.
Review:
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 )
