The Poems of T. S. Eliot is a groundbreaking and definitive edition of one of the greatest poets of all time. Carefully curated by Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue, this edition presents Eliot's poems in their most accurate and complete form. It includes a fully scrutinized text, restoring accidental omissions and correcting textual errors that have accumulated over the past century. The edition also presents a wealth of previously unpublished poems from Eliot's youth and private circulation, many of which are collected for the first time.
To accompany Eliot's poems, Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue have provided a comprehensive commentary that delves into the creative process behind each poem. Drawing upon drafts, correspondence, and other original materials, they offer a vivid account of Eliot's working methods, reading habits, influences, and revisions. The first volume of the edition honors Eliot's wishes by opening with his Collected Poems 1909-1962, published shortly before his passing fifty years ago. It includes the uncollected poems from his youth that he chose to publish, as well as other suitable poems.
The second volume of the edition begins with two books of poems of different kinds: Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and his translation of Perse's Anabase. It then moves on to verses that were privately circulated as informal, improper, or clubmanlike. Each section is accompanied by insightful annotations and explanations.
The Poems of T. S. Eliot is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. This authoritative edition will be treasured by scholars, students, and poetry enthusiasts alike for its meticulous scholarship and its invaluable contribution to our understanding and appreciation of Eliot's poetic genius.
