Words Alone: The Poet T. S. Eliot

In this volume a highly distinguished reader of modern literature offers his most personal book of literary criticism. Denis Donoghue gives us a lucid and illuminating account of his engagement with the works of T. S. Eliot. Whether writing about Eliot's poetry or confronting the poet's (often contentious) prose, Donoghue eloquently demonstrates what it means to read and to hear a master of the language.
