T.S. Eliot

anti-semitism and literary form

de Anthony Julius · Publicada por primera vez en 2003

"Of the many different kinds of anti-Semite, T. S. Eliot was the rarest: one who placed his anti-Semitism at the service of his art. Contemporary readers of his work are likely to ask themselves certain questions. Is literary merit compatible with expressions of racial contempt? How are those scorned by such work to respond?" "Anthony Julius's acclaimed book addresses these important questions in a series of remarkable adversarial readings, which both relate Eliot's anti-Semitism to his greater literary undertaking, and consider it in the context of arguments about censorship. This new edition of a seminal study includes an introductory chapter telling the story of the critical furore the book provoked on its first publication, and a concluding response to the reassessment of Eliot's work among poets, scholars and readers that has since ensued."--BOOK JACKET.
