Book Reviews of T.S. Eliot Reads: The Wasteland, Four Quartets and Other Poem
Book Review: Eliot reads Eliot
Summary: 5 Stars
A. Walton Litz was right on the money after listening to Eliot read his "Waste Land," saying Eliot was essentially a dramatist. Why his poetry takes so well with those who normally don't read poetry. This selection is the most comprehensive of his live and studio recordings. Includes his experimental "Triumphal March from Coriolan" but does not include his brilliant but never-completed play "Sweeney Agonistes" (a play whose truncated rhythm, epilitism, and pauses proceeded both Beckett and Pinter by decades.)
In any case, how can we resist Eliot reciting in his own voice the lines:
"I was neither at the hot gates
Nor fought in the warm rain
Nor knee deep in the salt marsh, heaving a cutlass,
Bitten by flies, fought."
