Eliot\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis two-volume critical edition of T. S. Eliot’s poems establishes a new text of the \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems 1909–1962\u003c\/i\u003e, rectifying accidental omissions and errors that have crept in during the century since Eliot’s astonishing debut, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” In addition to the masterpieces, \u003ci\u003eThe Poems of T. S. Eliot\u003c\/i\u003e contains the poems of Eliot’s youth, which were rediscovered only decades later; poems that circulated privately during his lifetime; and love poems from his final years, written for his wife, Valerie. Calling upon Eliot’s critical writings as well as his drafts, letters, and other original materials, Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue have provided a commentary that illuminates the imaginative life of each poem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the collected and uncollected poems of the first volume, this second volume opens with the two books of verse of other kinds that Eliot issued: the children’s verse of \u003ci\u003eOld Possum’s Book of Practical Cats\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAnabasis\u003c\/i\u003e, his translation of St.-John Perse’s \u003ci\u003eAnabase\u003c\/i\u003e. This volume then gathers the verses that Eliot contributed to the learnedly lighthearted exchanges of \u003ci\u003eNoctes Binanianæ\u003c\/i\u003e, and others that he wrote off-the-cuff or for intimate friends. Each of these sections is accompanied by its own commentary. Finally, pertaining to the entire edition, there is a comprehensive textual history that contains not only variants from all known drafts and the many printings but also extended passages amounting to hundreds of lines of compelling verse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram Content Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46382813675749,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-poems-of-t-s-eliot-volume-iiisbn-9780374235147","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
