Synopsis:

With its intricate structure and reverberative imagery, "Four Quartets" is the culminating achievement of T.S. Eliot's career. Its greatness is done full justice in this rendition by the Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes.

Containing some of the most melodic passages in modern poetry, "Four Quartets" blends the religious, the philosophical and the personal themes that preoccupied Eliot. The four parts, "Burnt Norton, East Coker, The Dry Salvages" and "Little Gidding," are interconnected both by theme and by symbol. A poem of war, of Christianity, of literature and of history, "Four Quartets" speaks for a whole generation and is an enduring masterpiece.

From the Publisher: We are pleased to announce the publication of eleven more titles into the new typographic look. The specifications for the books are high -beautifully produced, they all have flaps and are sewn and printed in Italy. The latest batch represents some of the core titles of the backlist (Philip Larkin's Collected Poems, Ted Hughes's New Selected Poems, James Joyce's Poems and Shorter Writings) along with key, single volumes that should be part of any poetry lover's library (and whose reissue, in the form in which they were first published, will give a whole new generation the pleasure of coming to the books as original readers).
