    About this ebook

    Discover another side of the Nobel Prize–winning modernist poet: “The imaginative dimensions of this [book] are altogether extraordinary” (The Boston Globe).
     
    Hidden away for decades, this newly discovered trove of previously unpublished early works includes drafts of T .S. Eliot’s poems such as “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and “Portrait of a Lady”—as well as ribald verse and other youthful curios that reveal a very different man from Eliot’s public persona.
     
    Edited by Christopher Ricks, its publication was hailed by the New York Times Book Review as “perhaps the most significant event in Eliot scholarship in the past twenty-five years.”

      Almost all of the poems here are previously unpublished. Early T.S. Eliot was not fully developed (as would be expected of most early attempts by any acclaimed poet), and some works are actually kind of sophomoric. However, one can see Eliot grow and develop. Focusing on the time period 1909-1917 -- 1917 was when Eliot was first published-- this collection is heavily annotated, footnoted, and appendixed with an occasional facsimile of his writings here and there. While meant to inform the reader, and certainly not extraneous, this additional material could also be very distracting. I would have preferred that all the poems were in one place, and everything else organized after; instead of wading through stuff to get to the next poem. Recommended for fans (particularly of a scholarly bent) of T.S. Eliot, but I think that in the future when I'm in the mood to read him, I'll just reach for my "selected poems" edition.
