About this product
Product Information
G. Douglas Atkins here offers an original consideration of T. S. Eliot's essay as a form of embodied thinking. A combination of literature and philosophy, the genre of the essay holds within itself a great tension--that between truth and creative prose. And, as Atkins explains, these conflicting forces of truth and creativity exist not only within the literary format itself but also within the writers and their relationships with the genre, making essay writing a wonderfully enriching "impure art." Exploring the similarities between Eliot's prose and poetry with the art of essay writing, Atkins discovers remarkably similar patterns of Incarnational thinking that emerge in each. In so doing, he establishes for the first time the essayistic nature of the great poem Four Quartets and provides an eloquent reflection on how the essay in all its impurity functions as Incarnational art, an embodiment of truth.

Reviews
"Nuanced and perceptive. A marvelous exposition. Atkins takes the reader on a leisurely walk, carefully comparing Montaigne and Bacon, Pope and Dryden, Thoreau, Belloc and modern essayist Scott Russell Sanders. Refusing to accept criticism that marks Eliot as a puritan, Atkins instead sees both Eliot's prose and poetry as essays that express the 'impurity' of the genre and of Eliot's work." --Dr. Steven Faulkner, Assistant Professor of Creative Nonfiction, Longwood University, "Douglas Atkins' T.S. Eliot and the Essay offers a compelling argument for rethinking the common understanding of Eliot's essayistic writing as cold and pedantic. Instead, Atkins argues--and his argument is a good one--we should recognize the Eliot who moves gracefully between verse and prose as a poet-essayist driven to discover the crucible in which Incarnational truth can provisionally be found. A fine stylist, Atkins' book extends his substantial contribution to scholarship on the essay, while also further solidifying his reputation as a wide-ranging thinker and perceptive writer." --Tod Marshall, Associate Professor of English, Gonzaga University

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!
