Voice of the Poet: T.S. Eliot (Voice of the Poet)
Random House Audio Voices
, 2005
Excellent
You can hear The Waste Land as it was meant to be heard. T. S. Eliot's reading made the poem come alive. Be warned. Not all of the CD is high quality recordings. Some have background noise. Some are low quality. I don't think the tracks are listed anywhere, so ...
Collected Poems, 1909-1962 (The Centenary Edition)
T. S. Eliot
Harcourt Brace Jovanovich
, 1991
Truly, one of the giants
When you think of the best poets ever, T.S. Eliot is one of those that comes to mind. His work is well crafted, intelligent, beautifully written, and has a flow to it that few poets can match. And this is a fine collection for the Eliot lover or for the reader ...
101 Great American Poems (Dover Thrift Editions)
Edgar Allan Poe

Dover Publications
, 1998
The American school anthology
This is a wonderful collection of American poetry classics. It contains most of the poems that have been taught through the years in American schools as the ' classics ' of American Literature. It does not really touch the American poetry of the past fifty years. ...
All Hallows' Eve
Charles Williams
Regent College Publishing
, 2002
Amazing
This is one of the greatest novels I've ever been forced to read in school. I recommend to all of my friends after having read it in my upper-level undergraduate Literature class. Read this book!
Watch For The Light: Readings For Advent And Christmas

Orbis Books

Loved it!!
I love that this series, including "Bread and Wine:Readings for Lent and Easter," because it challeneges our complacent culture-dictated experience of Advent and Easter. This is not a feel-good book, it is a faith-building book. Be prepared to be shaken up and for God ...
Murder in the Cathedral
T. S. Eliot
Harvest Books
, 1964
Thomas Beckett as martyr philosopher; Shakespearean genius
The audiobook version of "Murder in the Cathedral" (with Robert Donat playing Thomas Beckett) is a surprising delight, especially for those who love rich language and philosophical musings. Centered around the age-old story of how Thomas Beckett, the Archbishop of ...
The Waste Land (Norton Critical Editions)
T. S. Eliot
W. W. Norton
, 2000
Edition Brings More to Wasteland
Norton Critcal did it right with this edition. With enough essays and criticism to help anyone get a deeper understanding of Elliot's poem, this edition is a must have. Rainey's essay on the publishing of the poem is particulary interesting.
Four Quartets
T. S. Eliot
Harvest Books
, 1968
All art ... approaches the condition of music.
Among all these reviews, not one comes to terms with the very title of this opus: Four Quartets. When was Eliot anything but precise in his choice of word? The inspiration for these poems -- or reflections -- are the late string quartets of Beethoven, those ...
Nightwood
Djuna Barnes
New Directions
, 2006
Homosexuality is not really the focus -- but it's there
Barnes' Magnum opus, "Nightwood" (1936), was her second novel and one of those books that probably 'must' be read, the same as "Winesburg, Ohio" (Sherwood Anderson), or "The Great Gatsby", (F. Scott Fitzgerald). Poet Donald J. Greiner once wrote, "[It]...stands out ...
Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, Illustrated Edition
T. S. Eliot
Harcourt
, 1982
It's about cats, cats, and more Cats.
I had read this book before and loved it, but when I met Boris, a real, live version of Rum Tum Tugger, I had to buy a copy to show his owner. It is amazing how little had to be done to turn these poems into a great musical comedy. I am, of course, talking about ...
Complete Poems and Plays,: 1909-1950
T. S. Eliot
Harcourt
, 1952
Still Point of the Turning World
I'm not at all rating this book five stars; that's my rating for T.S. Eliot's plays. This book was the typical library edition and has everything wrong with it: the cover of an old, wise Eliot (why not a young maverick one?), "Complete" in the title when it's not at ...
Selected Essays
T. S. Eliot
Harcourt
, 1950
Stimulating for any student of literature
T.S. Eliot was the dominant figure in modernist literature not just because of his poetry, but also because of his criticism which changed our view of English literature in ways which can still be felt today. He resurrected the forgotten John Donne and had him eclipse ...
Selected Prose of T.S. Eliot
T. S. Eliot
Harvest Books
, 1975
What criticism should be.
Eliot's reputation has taken a beating in the last 20 years. He has been charged with anti-semitism, racism, elitism, and even misogyny. All of these charges are basically true. Nevertheless, as a critic his judgements are sound and dead-on. Read either "Traditon and ...
The Waste Land and Other Writings (Modern Library Classics)
T.S. Eliot
Modern Library
, 2002
Beautiful collection and engaging introduction by Mary Karr
I just finished a Modern Library anthology of T.S. Eliot's writings entitled simply "The Waste Land And Other Writings". Beginning with an entertaining if somewhat controversial introduction by Mary Karr, the next 234 pages provide a glimpse into Eliot's creative and ...
Literary Essays of Ezra Pound
Ezra Pound
New Directions
, 1968
Great essays from the modernist era
I find that reading just the first two essay was worth the money I spent on this book. Pound writes his literary essay with creativity, intelligence, and humor that are rare even among the best essayists. "A retrospect" is a great guide to use for those who takes ...
