The Collected Poems, T.S. Eliot

Poet, dramatist, critic and editor, T. S. Eliot was one of the defining figures of twentieth-century poetry. This edition of Collected Poems 1909-1962 includes his verse from Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) to Four Quartets (1943), and includes such literary landmarks as The Waste Land and Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.

This book is hardback and is recommended reading for Hillsdale’s free online course, “Great Books 102: Renaissance to Modern.”

“Each year Eliot’s presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more astonished, more humble.”—Ted Hughes
