*APPROVED* Original and probing new scholarship on T. S. Eliot's engagement with the visual and performance arts From his early "Curtain Raiser" to the late Four Quartets, T. S. Eliot took an interest in a wide range of arts, drawing on them for poetic inspiration and for analysis in his prose. T. S. Eliot and the Arts brings together in one place cutting-edge scholarship that emphasises the interconnection of the arts in Eliot's work and in modernism generally. The volume provides extensive, high quality research about his many-sided engagement with painting, sculpture, museum artefacts, architecture, music, drama, music hall, opera and dance, as well as the emerging media of recorded sound, film and radio. Building on the newly published editions of Eliot's prose and poetry, this contemporary research collection appears at a time when Eliot has been, and will continue to be, much in the news and closely studied. It is set to open avenues for understanding Eliot both in his own right as a poet and critic and as a foremost exemplar of interarts modernism. Frances Dickey is Associate Professor of English at the University of Missouri. She is President of the T. S. Eliot Society and the author of The Modern Portrait Poem: From Dante Gabriel Rossetti to Ezra Pound (2012). John Morgenstern is Lecturer in English at Clemson University.
