"Sometimes ... it is necessary that a so-called 'obscure' poet - whose obscurity merely lies in the wider range of his culture than that of his reader - requires an interpreter. Such an interpreter is Ethel Stephenson - Maurice Edelman." T. S. Eliot read the manuscript, and added many interesting references which inspired his work. This is the 2d printing of the Second edition, which was recasst in chronological order and has three additional chapters: "The Nature of Eliot's Poetry," "Poetic Form" and "Technique." "The Rock Choruses" have been extended and the two plays included with historic references bearing on the psychology of "Murder in the Cathedral."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
