SynopsisAt first glance few literary lineages might seem less likely than one connecting the foremost experimental poet of the 20th century to Victorian poet/translator Edward FitzGerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. But the controversy surrounding the life and work of FitzGerald was approaching its peak around the time a young and intellectually fervid Thomas Stearns Eliot first found the Rubaiyat lying about, and his exposure to it resulted in a profound inward change. Years later Eliot observed in his Norton lectures that the effect of his first reading of the work was like a sudden conversion - the world appeared anew, painted with bright, delicious and painful colours. Eliot Possessed reminds us of this important lineage.
