Description:
This book, first published in 1991, supplies a neglected cultural context for T. S. Eliot's writings of the 1930s and 1940s, particularly Four Quartets, and attempts to disprove the widespread belief in Eliot's unproblematic commitment to England, and the 'Englishness'. This original and provocative text will not only be of interest to students and teachers of Eliot, but to those interested in representations of nationality.
