The famed series of Trinity College and Johns Hopkins lectures in which the Nobel Prize winner explored history, poetry, and philosophy. While a student at Harvard in the early years of the twentieth century, T. S. Eliot immersed himself in the verse of Dante, Donne, and the nineteenth-century French poet Jules Laforgue. His study of the relation of thought and feeling in these poets led Eliot, as a poet and critic living in London, to formulate an original theory of the poetry generally termed “metaphysical”—philosophical and intellectual poetry that revels in startlingly unconventional imagery. Eliot came to perceive a gradual “disintegration of the intellect” following three “metaphysical moments” of European civilization—the thirteenth, seventeenth, and nineteenth centuries. The theory is at once a provocative prism through which to view Western intellectual and literary history and an exceptional insight into Eliot’s own intellectual development. This annotated edition includes the eight Clark Lectures on metaphysical poetry that Eliot delivered at Trinity College in Cambridge in 1926, and their revision and extension for his three Turnbull Lectures at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in 1933. They reveal in great depth the historical currents of poetry and philosophy that shaped Eliot’s own metaphysical moment in the twentieth century.

This chronological survey of major influences on T.S. Eliot's worldview covers the poet's spiritual and intellectual evolution in stages, by trying to see the world as Eliot did. It examines his childhood influences as well as the literary influences that inspired him to write his earliest poetry; his life as an American expatriate living in London from 1915 to 1930, including his ill-fated marriage and his intellectual engagement with the literary traditions of his new country; and the ways in which his intellectual pursuits fostered a spiritual rebirth that simultaneously reflected his past and revealed his future, demonstrating how the early Romantic revolutionary became a staunch defender of tradition.

Radical Empiricists presents a new history of criticism in the first half of the twentieth-century, against the backdrop of the modernist crisis of meaning. Our received idea of modernist criticism is that its novelty lay in being very empirical: critics believed in looking closely at words on the page. Such close reading has since been easy to ridicule but my book seeks to consider whether this is fair: have we, in the rush either to dismiss, or even to defend, the idea of close reading, often failed to look closely at what it involves in practice? Against this oversight, Radical Empiricists turns close reading back on itself, proposing some innovative readings of the prose of five major modernist poet-critics: I.A. Richards, T.S. Eliot, William Empson, R.P. Blackmur, and Marianne Moore. The book is divided into two parts, preceded by an introduction that explores what these five writers share: a radical self-consciousness about the key critical concept, 'meaning'. Part I, 'How to read', considers the prose techniques of Eliot, Richards and Empson as they push at the boundaries of verbal analysis in other disciplines: experimental psychology and anthropology, classical commentary and textual criticism. Part II introduces Blackmur and Moore, alongside Empson, and takes a more polemical look at how their critical styles defy various modernist orthodoxies about 'how not to read' (for example, that paraphrase always destroys poetic meaning). Many of these orthodoxies remain current: re-visiting their history, and attending to the rich detail of critical prose styles, can allow us to lift some old, unreflective constraints on our ways of knowing about poems.

The Metaphysical Poets provides an introduction to the work of six strikingly various and original poets- Donne, Herbert, Crashaw, Vaughan, Marvell and Traherne. By closely examining how the poems work, the book aims to help readers at all stages of proficiency and knowledge to enjoy and critically appreciate the ways in which fantastic and elaborate styles may express private intensities. The emphasis is on the differences covered by the term 'Metaphysical' and on the rich and strange diversity of the poets' inner lives. The book examines the expressive forms of interiority, the characteristic inward turn of Metaphysical wit, and compares the wit of its six poets with the non-introspective wit of poets such as Cowley, the Cavaliers and the Augustans. The discussion of each poet is preceded by a 'Life' in which the biographical facts, personal, cultural and political, are treated with a view to illuminating the concerns of the poems.

The Book Studies The Theme Of Quest In T.S. Eliot S Drama, Showing How Religious And Symbolic Implications, Both Oriental And Occidental, Have A Direct Bearing On His Personal Life.Eliot Used Various Symbols In His Quest Because He Believed In The Idea Of The Objective Correlative, About Which He Speaks In His Essay Hamlet And His Problems. In Order To Express His Theme, Eliot Used Christian Symbols Like The Quest Of The Holy Grail And The Idea Of The Incarnation On The One Hand, And Non-Christian Elements Like The Teachings And Life Of The Buddha, Along With References To The Gita And The Upanishad On The Other. In His Quest For Form And Articulation Eliot Was Influenced By French Symbolist Poetry, The Metaphysical Poets, The Plays Of Shakespeare And His Contemporaries, The Poems Of John Davidson, Conrad S Fiction, Music-Hall Performances And Jazz Music To Name Only A Few.Eliot Wanted To Project Dramatization As The Ideal Form Of Poetic Articulation On Various Levels Of Significance Drama As A Diversified Multifarious Intensified Medium Of Audio-Visual-Intellectual Expression. His Search Seems To Have Led Him To A Kind Of Consummation As An Experimenter, In His Plays, In Communication Through Diverse Verse Forms, Themes, Characters And Situations, Exposing A Multiplicity Of Experiences Both Physical And Spiritual. In All His Plays There Is A Distinct Development Towards More Precise Articulation Of The Innermost Feelings And Emotions Of Modern Urban Man. But, More Important, The Book Traces Eliot S Personal Quest For Understanding The Meaning Of Existence His Own Life And Its Meaning Of Which His Poetry And Plays Are A Sort Of Autobiography.
