FOUR QUARTETS - Faber

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, BURN 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'Eliot pre-eminently has stood for the spirit in these brutal and discouraging years. It should now be impossible to doubt that he is among the greatest poets of the English language'F.R Leavis
