Includes bibliographical references and index.

The authoritative edition of one of our greatest poets, scrupulously edited by Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue. It provides a fully scrutinised 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. It 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.
