T.S. Eliot is regarded as the most important poet-critic of modern times, the twentieth centurys Man of Letters whose reputation was forged not only on the strength of his verse, but on the enduring influence of his critical writings. The Collected Prose presents those works that Eliot allowed to reach print in the order of their final revision or printing. Publishing across four volumes, it aims to provide an authoritative and clean-text record of Eliots approved texts and their revisions, beginning with his formative observations, written while he was at high school, and concluding in his final major opus, To Criticize the Critic, published in the months after his death.
