Selected Prose by T. S. Eliot
An authoritative collection of essays and lectures that trace the development of modern literary criticism and cultural thought across the early 20th century, combining close readings of poetry and drama with reflections on tradition, technique, and the critic’s role. The pieces articulate key ideas—such as the interplay between individual creativity and historical tradition, the objectivity of poetic language, and the relationship between culture and religion—while offering incisive readings of canonical works and comments on contemporary taste, theater, and society. At once erudite and polemical, the writings map a course from formalist analyses of verse toward broader meditations on civilization, art’s function, and the moral responsibilities of intellectual life.
