Rezensionen

"A Companion to T. S. Eliot is a necessity for any college or university library and a worthwhile investment for your personal library. You will use it and reuse it, and you'll encourage your students to do the same."
--The Newsletter of the T. S. Eliot Society

"The articles are fully informative, readable and stimulating. Students, teachers and all readers interested in literature and poetry will enjoy - and benefit from - this companion."
--Reference Reviews

"As a resource for both scholars and students [this] book is very strong, and stand-out contributions come from John Xiros Cooper, on Eliot's social critiques, and John Timberman Newcomb's reconsideration of Eliot's influence as an editor, in which he notes the sometimes overlooked role Eliot played not only in British modernism but also, with Pound, in shaping the public face of the likes of George Oppen, Louis Zukofsky, and Marianne Moore. The collection as a whole, finely edited by Chinitz, will be a necessary reference."
