Description & Specifications

This book, Eliot's first collection of literary criticism, was published in London in 1920, two years before "The Waste Land." It contains some of his most influential early essays and reviews, including "Tradition and the Individual Talent," "Hamlet and His Problems," and Eliot's thoughts on Marlowe, Johnson, and Massinger, as well as his first tribute to Dante. Many of his most famous critical statements come from the pages of "The Sacred Wood." Reflecting on his career as a critic in 1961, Eliot noted that "in my early criticism, both in my general pronouncements about poetry and in my writing about authors who influenced me, I was implicitly defending the kind of poetry that I and my friends wrote. This gave my essays a sense of urgency, the warmth of the advocate's plea, which later, more detached, and I hope more judicial, essays cannot claim." This sense of urgency is still evident more than eighty years after the essays first appeared.
