Haunted by Christ: Modern Writers and the Struggle for Faith
Richard Harries, who was bishop of Oxford for almost two decades, is the author of over two dozen books and a commentator on human rights for BBC's Radio 4. His voice, like that of C. S. Lewis, is not only familiar but perfectly attuned to a literate but nonspecialist audience. His latest book, Haunted by Christ, is a collection of essays on nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers for whom the “pull of religion has been fundamental.” Not surpri…

From Philosophy to Poetry: T. S. Eliot's Study of Knowledge and Experience
In this text, Professor Child examines T.S. Eliot's relationship between his writing of poetry and his philosophical pursuits, in particular his lifelong occupation with the work of F.H. Bradley, Henri Bergson and William James. This account also considers the reception of Eliot's writing in philosophy and argues that the study of this work has significantly entered recent Eliot criticism. Overall, this volume provides a new reading of Eliot's fa…

Eliot, Descartes, and the Language of Poetry: A Review Essay
IN THE THREE DECADES since T. S. Eliot's death, Valerie Eliot, his widow and literary executrix, has served as the angel on the porch of his estate. Unruffled by the hostile, unmoved by the friendly, she has allowed very few of her husband's papers to be published. In the 1970s, she herself ably edited the drafts of The Waste Land; in the 1980s, she edited the first of several volumes of his correspondence; and now in the 1990s, she has allowed R…
Reading "The Waste Land": Modernism and the Limits of Interrelation
"Reading "The Waste Land: Modernism and the Limits of Interpretation
This book offers fresh commentary on T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, a book of modernist poetry published in 1922. It aims to be both a part-by-part analysis of the poem with periodic summations and a meditation on the limits of interpretation and the problematic nature of reading in the late 20th century. Bringing both Eliot's philosophical writings and contemporary theory to their interpretation, the authors aim to demonstrate that in his early es…

The Philosophy of T. S. Eliot: From Skepticism to a Surrealist Poetic, 1909-1927
The Structure of Eliot's "Gerontion": An Interpretation Based on Bradley's Doctrine of the Systematic Nature of Truth
The notion that a reader must qualify for the experience of reading a poem is repugnant to many literary critics. The greater artists, it is argued, utilize common ground which is universal. One does not need to have read philosophy or to carry a reader's guide in order to appreciate, say, Ode on Melancholy or David Copperfield or even King Lear. The knowledge one must bring to such masterpieces is not acquired in the library of any university, b…
