The Varieties of Metaphysical Poetry The Clark Lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, 1926, and the Turnbull Lectures at the Johns Hopkins University, 1933

Collected in one volume, Eliot’s lectures on metaphysical poetry provide a provocative view of Western intellectual and literary history and an exceptional insight into Eliot’s own intellectual development. “An incomparably stimulating experience in close reading,” said the New York Times. Edited and with an Introduction by Ronald Schuchard.
