{"product_id":"t-s-eliot-an-imperfect-life-9780393320930","title":"T. S. Eliot: An Imperfect Life","description":"In this \"nuanced, discerning account of a life famously flawed in its search for perfection\" (\u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e), Gordon captures Eliot's \"complex spiritual and artistic history . . . with tact, diligence, and subtlety\" (\u003cem\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e). Drawing on recently discovered letters, she addresses in full the issue of Eliot's anti-Semitism as well as the less-noted issue of his misogyny. Her account \"rescues both the poet and the man from the simplifying abstractions that have always been applied to him\" (\u003cem\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e), and is \"definitive but not dogmatic, sympathetic without taking sides. . . . Its voice rings with authority\" (\u003cem\u003eBaltimore Sun\u003c\/em\u003e). Praised by Cynthia Ozick as \"daring, strong, psychologically brilliant,\" Gordon's study remains true to the mysteries of art as she chronicles the poet's \"insistent search for salvation.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyndall Gordon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
