ReviewsThe essays assembled in T. S. Eliot and the Arts are genuinely groundbreaking: Eliot's debt to Asian art, whether Chinese, Japanese, or Indian, his astonishingly varied musical taste, ranging from Wagner to Louis Armstrong, and his sophistication vis-à-vis the then new media of radio and phonography-- these are documented impressively in this volume, presenting us with an Eliot we've never quite known before.

SynopsisFrom his early "Curtain Raiser" to the late Four Quartets, T. S. Eliot took an interest in all the arts, drawing on them for poetic inspiration and for analysis in his prose. T. S. Eliot and the Arts provides extensive, high quality research about his many-sided engagement with painting, sculpture, museum artefacts, architecture, music, drama, music hall, opera and dance, as well as the emerging media of recorded sound, film and radio. Building on the newly published editions of Eliot's prose and poetry, this contemporary research collection opens avenues for understanding Eliot both in his own right as a poet and critic and as a foremost exemplar of interarts modernism., Explores Eliot's many-sided engagements with painting, sculpture, architecture, music, drama, music hall and cinema, recorded sound, and dance, drawing on newly available sources, archival material, and interart connections.
