Pages : 468
Book Description
Late in his life T. S. Eliot, when asked if his poetry belonged in the tradition of American literature, replied: Id say that my poetry has obviously more in common with my distinguished contemporaries in America than with anything written in my generation in England. That Im sure of. . . . In its sources, in its emotional springs, it comes from America. In T. S. Eliot: The Making of an American Poet, James Miller offers the first sustained account of Eliots early years, showing that the emotional springs of his poetry did indeed come from America. Born in 1888 in St. Louis, Missouri, T. S. Eliot grew up along the Mississippi River, only a few miles down river from Hannibal, the boyhood home of another great American writer, Mark Twain. Miller recounts Eliots early years in St. Louis schools and follows him in the summers as he vacationed with his family in their Gloucester, Massachusetts, home perched on the Atlantic Oceans edge.
