Shyamal Bagchee is Professor of English and Adjunct Professor of Comparative Studies at the University of Alberta, Canada, and was President of the T. S. Eliot Society of America (2001-03). Elisabeth Daumer is Professor of English at Eastern Michigan University, USA.

"In a valuable contribution to the internationalization of modernist studies, the essays in this collection illuminate the cross-national, cross-cultural, even cross-hemispheric dialogue between Eliot and his global interlocutors. Exploring how writers from the Caribbean to Germany and Spain, to India, China, and Japan have absorbed and refashioned Eliot's work, these essays trace the fascinating transmutations of Eliot in an astonishing array of local traditions and indigenous languages across the world. - Professor Jahan Ramazani, University of Virginia Professor Jahan Ramazani"
