Four Quartets 75th ANNIVERSARY

Eliot, T S

£12.99

‘Four Quartets’ is the culminating achievement of T. S. Eliot’s career as a poet. While containing some of the most musical and unforgettable passages in 20th-century poetry, its four parts, ‘Burnt Norton’, ‘East Coker’, ‘The Dry Salvages’ and ‘Little Gidding’, present a rigorous meditation on the spiritual, philosophical and personal themes which preoccupied the author. It was the way in which a private voice was heard to speak for the concerns of an entire generation, in the midst of war and doubt, that confirmed it as an enduring masterpiece.

Description

‘That crown which he set on his lifetime’s effort.’ Ted Hughes

Four Quartets is the culminating achievement of T. S. Eliot’s career as a poet. This edition is based on the design made by Giovanni Mardersteig for his letterpress edition of 1960 and marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of its first publication in the UK by Faber & Faber in 1944.

‘Throughout these poems there is also the invention of new rhythms, of unimagined possibilities in the movement of language . . . He is perhaps more original and inventive in rhythm than any other poet in English.’ Delmore Schwartz

‘The most original contribution to poetry that has been made in our time.’ Edwin Muir
