Jewel Spears Brooker, editor: T. S. Eliot: the Contemporary Reviews.(Shorter notices)(Book Review)
Jewel Spears Brooker, editor T. S. Eliot: The Contemporary Reviews. Cambridge University Press, 600 pages, $110
This is the tenth volume in The American Critical Archive series, a splendid scholarly project of the old school, by which I do not mean old hat. On the contrary, by documenting (as the series editor M. Thomas Inge puts it in his preface) "a part of a writer's career that is usually difficult to examine, that is, the immediate response to each work as it was made public by reviewers in contemporary newspapers and journals," these volumes form an indispensable resource for any serious student of the writers in question. Earlier volumes have been devoted to classic American authors from Edith Wharton and Henry James to John Steinbeck and Walt Whitman. The current volume, ably edited by the Eliot scholar Jewel Spears Brooker, supplements if it does not replace the (also excellent) two volumes devoted to Eliot in the Critical Heritage series (1982). Brooker has gathered together hundreds of contemporary notices and reviews of Eliot's work from 1916, when The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock appeared, to 1959, when notices of The Elder Statesman, Eliot's last play, made the rounds.
