Based upon manuscript sources and the uncollected prose writings, as well as the published works, this is a profound exploration of Eliot's life-long preoccupation with mysticism. The author advances new readings of the familiar poems and essays through attention to Eliot's concern in poetry and prose with his roles as mystic, son and lover.
Donald J. Childs is Professor of English at the University of Ottawa. His publications include: 'T.S. Eliot: Mystic, Son & Lover' (1997)
