About the Author:

Marion Montgomery is a poet, novelist, and critic who taught English at the University of Georgia for more than thirty years. His most recent books include "With Walker Percy at the Tupperware Party: in Company with Flannery O'Connor, T. S. Eliot, and Others" and "Hillbilly Thomist: Flannery O'Connor, St. Thomas and the Limits of Art," as well as "On Matters Southern: Essays About Literature and Culture, 1964-2000."

Review:

The essay is itself a celebration and a sustained and studied recognition of the wholeness of Eliot's poetry. It is a formidable and valuable discourse.

(American Literature)

Marion Montgomery's essay on T. S. Eliot is a sensitive and informed reading of the major poems. I have learned for the first time how to read "Ash Wednesday" and "Prufrock." The book deserves wide circulation as a fresh contribution to our understanding of Eliot's Christianity.

(Allen Tate)

Marion Montgomery is just the sort of astute critic that Eliot himself called for thirty-five years ago. In tracing Eliot's progress from the romantic stance of "Prufrock" to the triumph of the timeless moment in Four Quartets, Montgomery sheds considerable light on many of the major poetic impulses of our age.
