A study of a literary success and the forces that combine to create a successful literary movement, this lucid volume places T.S. Eliot in his cultural context to discover why his poetry and criticism answered the needs of a particular moment. Menand provides fresh insight into familiar features of Eliot's work as he enhances our understanding of the ties that bound modernism to the culture of the 19th century and of the complex nature of literary change.
