Few poets of the twentieth century have reshaped the English language with the seismic force of T. S. Eliot, and this landmark symposium gathers the voices of those who knew and admired him best. Compiled by Richard March and Tambimuttu to honour Eliot on his sixtieth birthday, the volume presents an extraordinary chorus of tributes, essays, and reflections from an illustrious cast — among them W. H. Auden, Conrad Aiken, Clere Bell, Wyndham Lewis, Stephen Spender, and Herbert Read — each illuminating a different facet of the poet's genius, influence, and singular vision. Together, these contributions construct a portrait of a literary colossus whose work — from The Waste Land to Four Quartets — permanently altered the course of modern poetry and criticism. The assembled writers chronicle not only Eliot's craft and intellectual rigour, but also his profound effect on an entire generation of artists and thinkers. Published by Editions Poetry London in 1948, this symposium stands as a primary document of mid-century literary culture, offering readers an intimate, multi-voiced reckoning with one of modernism's most enduring architects — leaving one to wonder what Eliot himself made of it all.
