Description
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and later attended Harvard University before emigrating to England at the age of 26. It was here that he lived and worked for most of his life, drawing inspiration from both his American upbringing and his experiences in London during World War I. Eliot's personal struggles, including an unhappy marriage, played a significant role in shaping some of the greatest poetry of the 20th century. In Simply Eliot, Joseph Maddrey explores how Eliot reconciled conflicting ideas, and how his religious conversion in 1927 led to a spiritual rebirth that informed his most famous works. Maddrey's biography is based on previously unavailable materials, including over 5,000 personal letters, offering an intimate and incisive portrait of Eliot.
