Item description from seller

Harcourt Brace & Company, New York, New York, USA, 1994. First (1st) Printing (full number line down to "A") of the "First U.S. edition 1994" (stated). Previously published in the U.K. in 1993 by Faber & Faber. As New in an As New Dust Jacket. Appears Unread. The Text Block is clean, bright white, tight, straight and square with no markings of any kind. The Binding is black quarter cloth to blue boards, colors uniform throughout, with bright gilt title, etc., to the spine, unmarked patterned endpapers, and three corners square and sharp and without wear and the bottom front corner slightly bumped. The Dust Jacket is bright, colors uniform throughout, and fully intact with the original price ($29.95) intact on the front flap. See the accompanying photos, xiii, 343 pages. 6 1/4" x 9 1/4". A compilation of previously unpublished lectures on the nature of poetry. Eliot decries the dissociation of object, feeling and thought in 19th- and 20th-century poetry, saying "You only have metaphysical poetry, as I understand it, when you have a philosophy exerting its influence, not directly through belief, but indirectly through feeling and behavior, upon the minute particulars of a poet's daily life, his quotidian mind, primarily perhaps his way of love-making, but also any activity." Edited and with an Introduction by Ronald Schuchard. ISBN 10 / ISBN 13: 0151000964 / 9780151000968.
