"The voice, precise and angular, is tailor-made for these verses. The record contains some of the most famous poems of the Twentieth Century and the poet and his poems in combination supply further reason for Mr. Eliot's high standing in contemporary letters." --The New York Times

Nobel Prize-winning writer T.S. Eliot, one of the world's most renowned poets, was also "one of the great readers-aloud of this century" --Harper's Magazine.

Here - at last - is a remarkable collection of some of T. S. Eliots greatest poems - read magnificently by the author. These recordings, made in 1947 and 1955, have been digitally remastered using the Sonic Solutions NoNOISE system.

"It is always something of a revelation to listen to a poet reading his or her own words, and this tape is no exception. Eliot clearly and evenly characterizes and reveals the voices of some of his most important works in this excellent reading." --Library Journal

About the Author: T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) recast 20th century English poetry with a whole new vocabulary of technique, giving voice to a bold, vibrantly original Modernist style. In addition to his poetry, his body of work includes many landmark critical essays, as well as plays such as The Cocktail Party and Murder in the Cathedral. In 1948, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
