The Imperfect Life of T. S. Eliot

"He was a man of extremes whose deep flaws and high virtues were interfused, ' writes Lyndall Gordon in this perceptive and innovative biography of the great poet. She brilliantly explores his poetry, drama and essays in relationship to the four quite different women in his life and to his time in America and England. The Imperfect Life of T.S. Eliot follows the trials of a searcher whose flaws and doubts speak to all of us whose lives are imperfect."--Back cover.
