This is a remarkable work of intellectual biography and cultural history."--Benjamin G. Lockerd Jr., Grand Valley State University</p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal">"Hargrove has demonstrated beyond refutation the formative significance of the year Eliot spent in Paris, and she has done so with a wealth of documentation that will enable other scholars to build on her achievements."--Cyrena N. Pondrom, University of WisconsinMadison</p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal">After graduating from Harvard in 1910, T. S. Eliot spent a year in Paris, and his experiences there had a profound and lasting influence upon his life and his work. Even so, most scholars and biographers ignore it, mention it only in passing, or, in rare cases, dismiss it as a typical post-graduation year any wealthy student of the time could have had.</p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal">Nancy Hargrove sets the record straight on just how vitally important this period was for the young man. She meticulously re-creates the city and discusses in detail how pre-war Parisian culture influenced the works Eliot later produced. Hers is the first in-depth study of this crucial but largely overlooked year in the life of the artist, and reveals the complex repercussions it had on his literary career.</p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal"></p></DIV>
