"This monumental eight-volume edition of modern literature brings together, for the first time in print, all of the vastly influential prose writings of Nobel laureate T. S. Eliot, the poet and dramatist whose theories and criticism shaped twentieth-century thought and literature around the world. This complete collection provides access to over 6,000 pages of Eliot's nonfiction prose writings on literature, philosophy, religion, cultural theory, world politics, and other topics of urgent and enduring import. It includes all of the essays that he collected in his lifetime and also more than 1,000 uncollected, unrecorded, or unpublished items, many of which were missing or inaccessible for decades. Accompanying the prose pieces are editorial annotations that provide information about the texts and their contexts"--
