Review
"The overwhelming majority of books on T.S. Eliot are, understandably, those of literary scholars. These ignore a fundamental fact—that Eliot's early training and interest were in philosophy. This philosophically rigorous account of Eliot's work traces his development within a philosophic framework and defends his critical theory against Marxist and post-structuralist critics. It is, as well, a commentary on contemporary literary theory and philosophy." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
