About This Item

London: Faber, 1936. Fading of medium blue cloth top and bottom of spine (corresponding to pieces missing from dust jacket) and small stain top of rear paste down; dust jacket with heavy chipping top and bottom of spine (with "and / Faber" of "Faber and / Faber" missing at bottom of spine panel), small chips and short tears top and bottom of flap folds, fading of the pale green paper to almost white on flap folds, and to a paler green on rear and front panels, and spine panel is both faded and substantially darkened. As stated on front panel of dust jacket "This book takes the place of For Lancelot Andrewes, which is out of print. The Essay on Thomas Middleton is omitted because it has already been published in Elizabethan Essays, and other essays omitted because the author does not think them good enough. Five new essays, not previously collected, have been added.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Fair.

Reviews

On Sep 18 2010, Amacadam said:
Anyone interested in T.S. Eliot's thought--as opposed to either his poetry or his literary criticism--would be well-served by delving into this collection of essays. A re-working of "For Lancelot Andrewes,"(1928), this collection presents Eliot's thoughts on religion. The chilly waters of theology are not everyone's delight, but Eliot's article on Baudelaire chastens the myth-making perpetrated by Walter Benjamin and his disciples.
