S. Eliot, and Collected Poems 1909–1962 stands as the definitive record of his towering achievement. Spanning more than five decades of poetic output, this essential volume gathers the full arc of Eliot's verse — from the groundbreaking early works, including The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and the epoch-defining The Waste Land, through to the transcendent spiritual meditations of Four Quartets — presenting a body of work that chronicles the anxieties, disillusionment, and hard-won faith of the modern age.\n\nEliot's verse is characterised by its startling juxtapositions of high culture and urban squalor, its dense allusiveness, and its unflinching diagnosis of civilisational fracture — qualities that have secured his place as a cornerstone of the Modernist canon. Published by his long-standing home, Faber and Faber, this collection illustrates both the restless formal innovation of his early career and the measured, luminous cadences of his later religious verse. For any serious reader of poetry, this volume raises an irresistible question: how does one man's grief, doubt, and quiet epiphany become the defining voice of an entire century?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210267107547,"sku":"2026200014864-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0113deea-87cd-42ca-ba86-b19ad581b191.png?v=1788268395","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014864-secondhand-collected-poems-1909-1962","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
