A Companion to T.S. Eliot

摘要

This companion is timely because T.S. Eliot's work has recently been in the news. In the autumn ofrn2009 the British Library mounted an exhibition, "In Bloomsbury Square," to commemorate thern18th anniversary of Faber and Faber, the publishing firm Eliot was long associated with. At the same time, Faber and Faber published a revised edition of a first volume of Eliot's early letters together with a new second volume. Early inrn2010 at Wilton's Music Hall, London, Fiona Shaw repeated her acclaimed performance of The Waste Land. Books, articles, commentaries and reviews continue to appear. David E. Chinitz opens his Preface to the companion by noting that "critical work on T.S. Eliot has undergone a renaissance since the early 1990s, bringing new ideas and methods to bear on a much-studied writer".
