Book excerpt: The last major verse written by Nobel laureate T. S. Eliot, considered by Eliot himself to be his finest work Four Quartets is a rich composition that expands the spiritual vision introduced in “The Waste Land.” Here, in four linked poems (“Burnt Norton,” “East Coker,” “The Dry Salvages,” and “Little Gidding”), spiritual, philosophical, and personal themes emerge through symbolic allusions and literary and religious references from both Eastern and Western thought. It is the culminating achievement by a man considered the greatest poet of the twentieth century and one of the seminal figures in the evolution of modernism.

Book excerpt: 'At last, we have a study that tackles these questions, and does so with a wealth of learning, a poet's sensibility and a thorough theological literacy...Murray has given us a superb study.' Rowan Williams, Doctrine and Life 'His point of view is always that of someone practised in meditation, and his book is in consequence one of the half-dozen really valuable guides to Eliot's poetry.' Stephen Medcalf, Times Literary Supplement The story of the composition of Four Quartets, in relation to mysticism, constitutes one of the most interesting pages in modern literary history. T.S. Eliot drew his inspiration not only from the literature of orthodox Christian mysticism and from a variety of Hindu and Buddhist sources, but also from the literature of the occult, and from several unexpected and so far unacknowledged sources such as the 'mystical' symbolism of Shakespeare's later plays and the visionary poetry of Rudyard Kipling. But the primary concern of this study is not with sources as such, nor with an area somewhere behind the work, but rather with that point in Four Quartets where Eliot's own mystical attitude and his poetry unite and intersect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2-, University of Marburg (Anglistik Literaturwissenschaft), course: T.S. Eliot als Kritiker, Dichter und Dramatiker, language: English, abstract: The title of Eliot's poetic work Four Quartets already tells that it consists of four poems. These are named Burnt Norton, East Coker, Dry Salvages and Little Gidding. Each of them is separated into five sections. Eliot wrote them over a period of eight years, namely between 1935 and 1942 which was the time of the Second World War. Probably it is to a great extent due to mirroring the identity of wartime Britain that Eliot reached with Four Quartets a large public for the first time. Today Four Quartets are considered to be Eliot's masterpiece. Each poem was separately composed and published as an independent work at first. Though each poem is individual they form together a perfect unity: Read consecutively each illuminates the others, and the symbols employed become richer and more solid with repetition; ... Four Quartets reveal Eliot's insights into the cyclical nature of life by means of themes and images which occur again and again throughout the poems. The quartets are regarded as the clearest exposition of Eliot's Christian beliefs. The very nature of experience, spiritual renewal and connections of the personal and historical present and past are addressed. Not only the central aspect of time is important but also the motif of place does play a major role in the quartets. Typically enough are the place names each poem bears. The places which are mentioned are not simply geographical points; they are rather associated with deep emotions.
