While at Little Gidding
1 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
I took 'Annotations to T S Eliot's "Four Quartets"' with me on a visit to Little Gidding, and yes, the book has its limitations, but it also has a zing of inspiration. Many years ago when I first visited Little Gidding it was nearly impossible to get any information about the church, and had this little volume been in existence then, I should have been grateful to have it. In fact, I was grateful to the authors when last at Little Gidding with their volume in my hands. It is certainly not 'a book that should not have been published'. It offers a beginning, and that is, perhaps, what a visit or pilgrimage to Little Gidding inspires.
Review by David Jasper

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
David Jasper, Professor at University of Glasgow, reviewed this book in the Oxford journal "Literature and Theology". Quotes from his review:
"Great poetry, however familiar we are with it, will always offer new mysteries and strange resonances at each fresh reading. These notes, then, are reassuring,
illuminating, stimulating and informative for new readers and for those who have long familiarity with the poems...
Writing notes is an art, and Ethel Grene has mastered this with appropriate modesty. For annotations should never intrude upon the work itself. Nor should they bully the reader, but rather suggest gently the possibilities of readings and the possible or probable references. They should also inform in both specifics and in the more general background - and all of these things are in evidence in this book... For teachers and for general readers, this will be a sure guide."

a book that shouldn't have been published
3 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a disappointingly thin set of annotations to Eliot's great poem. There's nothing wrong or misleading about these notes. But they are meager and insufficient to make a whole book. It's mostly white space. A nice idea that never should have been published as a book.
