Eliot: Volume I: Collected and Uncollected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe first volume of the first paperback edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Poems of T. S. Eliot\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis two-volume critical edition of T. S. Eliot's poems establishes a new text of the \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems 1909-1962\u003c\/i\u003e, rectifying accidental omissions and errors that have crept in during the century since Eliot's astonishing debut, \"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.\" In addition to the masterpieces, \u003ci\u003eThe Poems of T. S. Eliot\u003c\/i\u003e contains the poems of Eliot's youth, which were rediscovered only decades later; poems that circulated privately during his lifetime; and love poems from his final years, written for his wife, Valerie. Calling upon Eliot's critical writings as well as his drafts, letters, and other original materials, Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue have provided a commentary that illuminates the imaginative life of each poem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis first volume respects Eliot's decisions by opening with his \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems 1909-1962\u003c\/i\u003e as he arranged and issued it shortly before his death. This is followed by poems uncollected but either written for or suitable for publication, and by a new reading text of the drafts of \u003ci\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/i\u003e. The second volume opens with the two books of verse of other kinds that Eliot issued: \u003ci\u003eOld Possum's Book of Practical Cats\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAnabasis\u003c\/i\u003e, his translation of St.-John Perse's \u003ci\u003eAnabase\u003c\/i\u003e. Each of these sections is accompanied by its own commentary. Finally, pertaining to the entire edition, there is a comprehensive textual history that contains not only variants from all known drafts and the many printings but also extended passages amounting to hundreds of lines of compelling verse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e T.
