"[M]easured, and brave in its imaginative interpretations."-Carolyn Heilbrun, The New York Times Book Review This "original, intuitive, and even exciting" (The New Yorker) portrait highlights the experiences that shaped Virginia Woolf's life and art-her childhood, her relationships with her father and sister, her marriage, and her descents into madness.
This is an account of T.S.Eliot's early life and works, which attempts to provide, not only a biographical profile of the poet's early years, but also a critical analysis of the poetry of those years, most notably "The Wasteland". Lyndall Gordon is author of "Virginia Woolf" and "Eliot's New Life". She won the Rose Mary Crawshay Prize 1978, for "Eliot's Early Years".
