T S Eliot – författare
- Häftad, Svenska, 2024T S Eliots inflytelserika diktverk Det öde landet utkom 1922 – samma år som James Joyces viktiga modernistiska roman Odysseus publicerades. Europa var krigshärjat och utvecklingsoptimismen stukad. Det öde landet var det granat- uppfläkta slagfältet men också det förstörda inre landskapet, den allmänna själsliga uppgivenheten. Eliots dikt har blivit ett av den litterära modernismens viktigaste verk, genom sitt omskakande innehåll och sin experimentella form. Tvåspråkig utgåva med den engelska texten på vänstersidorna och den svenska texten på högersidorna. I översättning och med kommentarer av Jonas Ellerström.

The Waste Land is a modernist poem written by T. S. Eliot, first published in 1922. It is considered one of the most important and influential poems of the 20th century. The poem is known for its complex structure, rich allusions, and exploration of various themes, including disillusionment, cultural decay, and the search for spiritual renewal in a post-World War I world. - Häftad, Engelska, 2021

The Waste Land (1922) is a poem by T.S. Eliot. After suffering a nervous breakdown, Eliot took a leave of absence from his job at a London bank to stay with his wife Vivienne at the coastal town of Margate. He worked on the poem during these months before showing an early draft to Ezra Pound, who helped edit the poem toward publication. The Waste Land, dedicated to Pound, includes hundreds of quotations of and allusions to such figures as Homer, Sophocles, Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Saint Augustine, Chaucer, Baudelaire, and Whitman, to name only a few.
Divided into five sections-"The Burial of the Dead;" "A Game of Chess;" "The Fire Sermon;" "Death by Water;" and "What the Thunder Said"-The Waste Land is a complex poem that translates Eliot's fragile emotional state and increasing dissatisfaction with married life into an apocalyptic vision of postwar England. The poem begins with a meditation on despair before moving to a polyphonic narration by figures on the theme. The third section focuses on death and denial through the lens of eastern and western religions, using Saint Augustine as a prominent figure. Eliot then moves from a brief lyric poem to an apocalyptic conclusion, declaring: "He who was living is now dead / We who were living are now dying / With a little patience." Both personal and universal, global in scope and intensely insular, The Waste Land changed the course of literary history, inspiring countless poets and establishing Eliot's reputation as one of the foremost artists of his generation.
This edition of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Four Quartets is the culminating achievement of T.S. Eliot's career as a poet. While containing some of the most musical and unforgettable passages in twentieth-century poetry, its four parts, 'Burnt Norton', 'East Coker', 'The Dry Salvages' and 'Little Gidding', present a rigorous meditation on the spiritual, philosophical and personal themes which preoccupied the author. It was the way in which a private voice was heard to speak for the concerns of an entire generation, in the midst of war and doubt, that confirmed it as an enduring masterpiece. - Häftad, Engelska, 2002

Modernismens stora poet i ny utgåva
T. S. Eliot förtjänar redan med sina tidiga diktsamlingar en plats bland 1900-talets stora poeter. Debutdikten »J. Alfred Prufrocks kärlekssång« publicerades 1915 i den prestigefyllda tidskriften Poetry, på initiativ av Ezra Pound. Dikten fick ett blandat mottagande. Av några betraktades den som obegriplig och spefull; andra hyllade Eliot för hans banbrytande metod och oefterhärmliga genialitet. I dag betraktas »J. Alfred Prufrocks kärlekssång« som ett av de mest avgörande tidiga modernistiska verken, och som en tydlig brytning med den viktorianska poesin. Eliots poesi är både konkret och djuplodande, exakt och mångbottnad. I ett försök att göra den omtumlandemellan- och efterkrigstiden rättvisa sökte Eliot dikta på ett sätt som satte samman traditionen och förnyelsen, som blandade medeltida legender och framstörtande bilar. Med stor fingertoppskänsla skapade Eliot i sin diktning en form för det moderna livets oförsonade helhet och sammanhang. Omsorgsfullt och precist ringade han in förutsättningarna för människan, då och nu. Dikter 1915-1945 samlar en stor andel av T. S. Eliots viktigaste poesi. Här finns »Fyra kvartetter«, »De ihåliga männen« och Eliots fem landskapsdikter i nya översättningar av Erik Lindman Mata (de sistnämnda dikterna för första gången på svenska), tillsammans med klassiska svenska översättningar av Karin Boye och Erik Mesterton, Johannes Edfelt, Gunnar Ekelöf och Erik Lindegren. Boken har ett introducerande förord av Erik Lindman Mata.
THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT [1888-1965] född i St. Louis, Missouri, tillhör de största engelskspråkiga poeterna och var en av modernismens centrala figurer. Hans långdikt Det öde landet betraktas som ett av 1900-talets viktigaste verk. Eliot flyttade som tjugofemåring till England och blev engelsk medborgare 1927, samtidigt som han avsade sig sitt amerikanska medborgarskap. Han umgicks i samma litterära kretsar som Ezra Pound och William Butler Yeats, och bidrog till utgivningen av James Joyce Ulysses.

“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.”T. S. Eliot’s advocacy of “impersonality” as a literary ideal in Tradition and the Individual Talent had an immeasurable impact on Modernist literature and continues to resonate today. An incisive (and controversial) account of individual artists’ relation to their forebears, this essay remains an outstanding work of critical prose. - Häftad, Engelska, 2015

Times Literary Supplement Book of the YearPegasus Award for Poetry Criticism, Poetry Foundation, ChicagoRichard J. Finneran Award, Society for Textual ScholarshipBest Scholarly Edition Award, Modernist Studies AssociationThe Poems of T. S. Eliot is the authoritative edition of one of our greatest poets, scrupulously edited by Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue. It provides, for the first time, a fully scrutinized text of Eliot's poems, carefully restoring accidental omissions and removing textual errors that have crept in over the full century in which Eliot has been so frequently printed and reprinted. The edition also presents many poems from Eliot's youth which were published only decades later, as well as others that saw only private circulation in his lifetime, of which dozens are collected for the first time. To accompany Eliot's poems, Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue have provided a commentary that illuminates the creative activity that came to constitute each poem, calling upon drafts, correspondence and other original materials to provide a vivid account of the poet's working processes, his reading, his influences and his revisions. The first volume respects Eliot's decisions by opening with his Collected Poems 1909-1962 in the form in which he issued it, shortly before his death fifty years ago. There follow in this first volume the uncollected poems from his youth that he had chosen to publish, along with such other poems as could be considered suitable for publication. The second volume opens with the two books of poems of other kinds that he issued, Old Possum's Book of Practical Catsand his translation of Perse's Anabase, moving then to verses privately circulated as informal or improper or clubmanlike. Each of these sections is accompanied by its respective commentary, and then, pertaining to the entire edition, there is a comprehensive textual history recording variants both manuscript and published. The Poems of T. S. Eliot is a work of enlightening scholarship that will delight and inform all those who read Eliot for pleasure, as well as all those who read with pleasure and for study. Here are a new accuracy and an unparalleled insight into the marvels and landmarks from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Waste Land through to Four Quartets. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2019

The most famous, beautiful and spiritually moving poems of the twentieth-century, read by the most famous poet. Historic recordings of the cream of Eliot’s poetry.It is always something of a revelation to listen to a poet reading his own words, and these recordings are no exception. Eliot clearly and evenly characterises and reveals the voices of some of his most important works in this excellent reading.The Waste Land caught the imagination of the age with its powerful emotional impact. Eliot felt that the modern Westerncity had become a sterile desert waste land, and in it life had become a sham pretence, with no content but stale conventionality.The Four Quartets express the poet’s whole-hearted acceptance of the Christian faith. Each poem describes a meditation which leads to a reconciliation with the burden of the past. - LjudbokEngelska, 2015
