Sommario/riassunto

This book pursues, for the first time, a comprehensive reading of T. S. Eliot's poetry as it engages with Earth. Finding that such engagement is pervasive in the poet's oeuvre, the book offers a new perspective to critics intrigued by Eliot's project, the modern poetic enterprise, ecocritical developments, and the vital intersections between these fields of reading.
