Young Eliot From St. Louis to The Waste Land [Audiobook]


Free Download Robert Crawford, Roger Clark (Narrator), "Young Eliot: From St. Louis to The Waste Land"
English | ASIN: B0CTBDYJQF | 2024 | M4B@64 kbps | ~24:27:00 | 716 MB
Award-winning biographer Robert Crawford’s Young Eliot traces the life of the twentieth century’s most important poet from his childhood in St. Louis to the publication of his revolutionary poem The Waste Land.
Crawford provides listeners with a new understanding of the foundations of some of the most widely read poems in the English language through his depiction of Eliot’s childhood as well as through his exploration of Eliot’s marriage to Vivien Haigh-Wood, a woman who believed she loved Eliot "in a way that destroys us both."
Quoting extensively from Eliot’s poetry and prose as well as drawing on new interviews, archives, and previously undisclosed memoirs, Crawford shows how the poet’s background in Missouri, Massachusetts, and Paris made him a lightning rod for modernity. Most impressively, Young Eliot reveals the way he accessed his inner life-his anguishes and his fears-and blended them with his omnivorous reading to create his masterpieces "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and The Waste Land.
