A. David Moody's Thomas Stearns Eliot: Poet was published to acclaim in 1979, with a successful paperback following in 1980. This carefully revised and corrected second edition, with a specially written preface and a new appendix, meets the demand for one of the classic studies of the twentieth century's best-known poet.
‘Moody’s book seems to me the best, the most far-reaching, the most perceptive, book on Eliot. I know no other which is as helpfully devoted to Eliot, devoted, not devout.’
Denis Donoghue Source: The Times Literary Supplement
‘An important and original study, which admirably generates fresh thought about Eliot.’
Bernard Bergonzi Source: Journal of American Studies
‘Deeply studied and sensitive … this study reflects, and compels on the reader, great admiration and respect for the master’.
Source: W. W. Robson in The Sewanee Review
‘The most enlightening, most profound and, in some ways, most disturbing book about T. S. Eliot that I have yet read.’
