"Lyndall Gordon...has done her best...to rescue both the poet and the man from the simplifying abstractions that have always been applied to him. She has written an intellectually demanding, sophisticated and distinguished book....Her lengthy and deep analysis of "The Waste Land" is one of the most arresting parts of her book. She links Eliot's mocking disillusionment, his dislike of women and Jews, his yearnings for a religious awakening, to the specific anguish he was experiencing."Gordon, Lyndall is the author of 'T.S. Eliot An Imperfect Life' with ISBN 9780393320930 and ISBN 0393320936.
