Each title in this series aims to give an introduction to a wide variety of writers in the English language. By examining a writer's life and writing career, each book will help students understand the context in which the works they study were written. In addition, the books provide some guidance towards a critical understanding of those major texts which students are most likely to encounter. By using extensive quotations, carefully chosen illustrations and clearly presented critical analyses, this series should prove to be an aid to GCSE English. This title provides a detailed survey of T.S.Eliot's life and work. Not only was he an innovative poet, but an important literary critic and playwright. It discusses his early poetry and his two major poems "The Waste Land" and "Four Quartets", as well as "Murder in the Cathedral", his most important verse drama.
