Product Description

Product Description

"Four Quartets" is the culminating achievement of T.S. Eliot's career as a poet. While containing some of the most musical and unforgettable passages in twentieth-century poetry, its four parts, 'Burnt Norton', 'East Coker', 'The Dry Salvages' and 'Little Gidding', present a rigorous meditation on the spiritual, philosophical and personal themes which preoccupied the author. It was the way in which a private voice was heard to speak for the concerns of an entire generation, in the midst of war and doubt, that confirmed it as an enduring masterpiece.


From the Publisher

We are pleased to announce the publication of eleven more titles into the new typographic look. The specifications for the books are high -beautifully produced, they all have flaps and are sewn and printed in Italy. The latest batch represents some of the core titles of the backlist (Philip Larkin's Collected Poems, Ted Hughes's New Selected Poems, James Joyce's Poems and Shorter Writings) along with key, single volumes that should be part of any poetry lover's library (and whose reissue, in the form in which they were first published, will give a whole new generation the pleasure of coming to the books as original readers). --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece, 16 Sep 2006
I am hooked, and I don`t even like poetry. At least that was what I thought before I started reading Four Quartets.

I think it can be read in two ways.
One can either read it and focus on all the beautiful pictures used; it is plenty of them, and the reason I picked it up in the first place after having heard some quotations.
Or one can dig deeper trying to figure out what Eliot meant; looking at it like a journey where nearly every sentence refers to something.

It is not an easy read, but I would highly reccomend it to anyone who has read quite an amount of books, as it simply is a masterpiece!

4.0 out of 5 stars Four Quartets, 10 April 2007
By B. Field - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This collection of 4 long-form poems is challenging to read, and the allusions and images made throughout each of the works are often difficult to understand and keep track of. I would not recommend this book to many people that I know, as it is almost as opaque as The Wasteland in places and is, to be frank, quite dry to read.
However, having said that I am also compelled to say that although it is dry and the speculations are not original, the ideas that are conveyed are always interesting and, overall, the verse is beautiful if occasionally mannered.
If you are interested in this item and/or have enjoyed other modern poems then you will probably enjoy a copy this slim volume that I have carried with me for quite some time now.
