About this product
Product Information
T. S. Eliot and Organicism provides the first comprehensive account of Eliot's preoccupation with agrarianism, organicism and the environment. Jeremy Diaper elucidates and contextualizes several facets of Eliot's organic thinking, ranging from composting and soil fertility, to regionalism, nutrition and culinary skills. Through detailed examination of Eliot's engagement with organic issues, this book offers environmental readings of Eliot's poetry and plays and demonstrates that agrarian concerns emerge as a notable theme in his literary output - from his earliest notebook of poems known as Inventions of the March Hare to Murder in the Cathedral . This book also analyzes Eliot's prose to illuminate his engagement with the key environmental debates which were taking place during the 1930s-50s. Diaper offers a thorough analysis of Eliot's social criticism and explores his perturbation regarding the decline of agriculture in After Strange Gods , The Idea of a Christian Society and Notes Towards the Definition of Cultur e. T. S. Eliot and Organicism breaks new ground by demonstrating that a thorough understanding of Eliot's engagement with environmentalism is vital to our interpretation of both his poetry and prose. It establishes that one of the twentieth century's most eminent literary figures should be remembered for his important role in the emergence of the organic husbandry movement and for his wide-ranging comments on a variety of environmental and organic issues.

Reviews 'The most valuable part of T. S. Eliot and Organicism is its thorough trawling through the files of the New English Weekly and the Christian News-Letter, two publications which Eliot supported and contributed to, especially once the Criterion had closed. This yields ample evidence of parallels between that of Eliot's work and a number of prominent writers on agriculture and its place in a good society.' Stefan Collini, The Times Literary Supplement, 'The most valuable part of T. S. Eliot and Organicism is its thorough trawling through the files of the New English Weekly and the Christian News-Letter, two publications which Eliot supported and contributed to, especially once the Criterion had closed. This yields ample evidence of parallels between that of Eliot's work and a number of prominent writers on agriculture and its place in a good society.' Stefan Collini, The Times Literary Supplement, 'Diaper's meticulously researched exploration of Eliot's engagements with the organicist movement of the 1930s invites us to reconsider the author many still associate with modernism at its most anthropocentric. We find instead a poet invested in the practicalities of food, dirt, sustainable human habitation, and the webs of politics and economics in which it is all entangled. Diaper compellingly argues that it is impossible to understand Eliot's social criticism and poetics, and even his faith, aside from his concern for the fate of actual, living loam... This touchstone work will be referenced in any future ecocritical study of Eliot. Beyond this, the book is an important contribution to the ongoing greening of modernist studies. The last decade produced several works on the more-than-human investments of modernism, each of which has had to argue vigorously for the validity of combining modernism and ecocriticism. One hopes that we're finally now in a moment when we can do away with the anxious justifications tucked into our prologues and intros. Indeed, Diaper's book perhaps signals that such a moment is here'. Julia E. Daniel, ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, "The most valuable part of T. S.

This yields ample evidence of parallels between that of Eliot's work and a number of prominent writers on agriculture and its place in a good society" Stefan Collini, The Times Literary Supplement "Jeremy Diaper's lucid and detailed study locates Eliot at the heart of the early organic movement ... this book will prove essential reading not only for students of organicism, but for all those with a general interest in the culture of mid-twentieth-century England as reflected in the work of its greatest modernist poet." Richard Moore-Colyer, Rural History "T. S. Eliot and Organicism's profound reconsideration of Eliot's organic thinking will undoubtedly inspire future approaches to ecocriticism and Eliot Studies." Clint Wilson, Time Present (the Newsletter of the International T. S. Eliot Society) "Jeremy Diaper's argument in T. S. Eliot and Organicism goes way beyond such circumstantial considerations, though, presenting a wealth of evidence to show that Eliot attached great importance to farming and to a thriving rural culture and economy... Diaper's monograph offers a convincing case for T. S. Eliot's major role in propagating the organicist philosophy." Philip Conford, Agricultural History Review, 'Jeremy Diaper's lucid and detailed study locates Eliot at the heart of the early organic movement ... this book will prove essential reading not only for students of organicism, but for all those with a general interest in the culture of mid-twentieth-century England as reflected in the work of its greatest modernist poet.'

Philip Conford, Agricultural History Review "Jeremy Diaper has drawn a meticulous portrait of Eliot as ecocritic avant la lettre... His work establishes a solid historical basis for future environmental readings of Eliot - the poet of soil, air, and water." Frances Dickey, Essays in Criticism "Certain readers may be unfamiliar with the relevant contexts that shaped Eliot's 'agricultural sensibility' and in this respect one of the delights of the book, as well as the lucidity of Diaper's prose, is the meticulous positioning of the author in relation to various agrarian, agricultural and environmental concerns... Overall, Diaper's book is written with sharp clarity, is logically structured and meticulously historicised, and, even though some of the close readings may induce further questions and critical responses, the implications are far reaching."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
