In “Burnt Norton,” the poetic speaker enters a rose garden, a space of envisioned timeless illumination. This experience sets in motion a spiritual quest, which will confer unity upon Four Quartets. For the poet himself, it inaugurates a creative phase (mid-1930s to late-1950s) that strengthens his sense of faith and community. Eliot, increasingly interested in playwriting, completed his meditative masterpiece (Four Quartets) while undertaking his ambitious project to revive verse drama. Devotion to drama reflects Eliot’s stronger social awareness, leading him to adopt popular forms: the pageant (The Rock), drawing-room comedy (The Cocktail Party, The Confidential Clerk, and The Elder Statesman), and children’s literature (Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats). As a critic, he widened his scope to write about social issues (The Idea of a Christian Society, Notes Towards a Definition of Culture). These aspects of Eliot’s career are influenced by concrete historical and biographical circumstances such as the impact of war and his ongoing relationship with Emily Hale, who played a decisive role as his muse, guide, and mentor in his newfound passion for the stage. Reading T. S. Eliot: The Rose Garden and After (1930s-1950s) presents original work by numerous scholars addressing these facets of Eliot’s writing.

T. S. Eliot’s writings for the stage have never competed critically on equal terms with his poetry despite his openly stated conviction that the greatest poetry is invariably dramatic and should speak to all audiences. The essays contained in this volume revolve around the question of Eliot’s life-long interest in and later development of verse drama incorporating the latest research and archival resources – most importantly, his recently published letters to Emily Hale. This book fills a gaping hole in the critical appreciation of Eliot’s commitment to drama from the mid-1920s to the end of his career by principally exploring the tensions in his work between the playwright and the poet. It does so by presenting Eliot’s drama as a fruitful ground for the newest critical approaches about an artist who has too long been a prisoner of his persona as the leading poet of Modernism.

Hoy por hoy no existe en castellano ningún material de consulta sobre atención sanitaria con pacientes de diversas culturas, las cuales ya son una realidad en nuestra sociedad y en las consultas médicas de nuestro país. El presente volumen, pionero en este sentido, se inspira en guías existentes como fuentes de información para el personal sanitario, los mediadores interculturales y los intérpretes, y para la formación especializada de trabajadores sociales y otra figuras profesionales del ámbito social.Los contenidos atienden a aspectos esenciales de antropología médica e interacción comunicativa en la comunicación médico-paciente, y se basan en el conocimiento de las culturas sanitarias de diverso origen por parte del equipo de autores, a partir de sus estudios y el desarrollo de diversos proyectos de investigación, en los que se llevaron a cabo encuestas con personal sanitario, mediadores interculturales y pacientes de diversas culturas, para recopilar datos desde una perspectiva cualitativa.No sólo se enumeran los posibles comportamientos problemáticos, sino que se ofrecen una explicación cultural de los mismos que permite un tratamiento lo más coherente y fructífero posible.El volumen cuenta con ejemplos comentados de interacciones comunicativas médico-paciente, así como con una selección de referencias bibliográficas comentadas. Su intención es servir de guía didáctica, para fomentar la atención sanitaria transcultural.
