An indispensable collection of the Nobel Prize winner's most renowned works

"In ten years' time," wrote Edmund Wilson in Axel's Castle, "Eliot has left upon English poetry a mark more unmistakable than that of any other poet writing in English." In 1948, Eliot was awarded the Nobel Prize "for his work as a trail-blazing pioneer of modern poetry."

This book is made up of six individual titles: Four Quartets, Collected Poems: 1909–1935, Murder in the Cathedral, The Family Reunion, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, and The Cocktail Party. It offers not only enjoyment of one of the great talents in contemporary literature, but a deeper understanding of such classics as "The Waste Land," "The Hollow Men," "Ash Wednesday," "Prufrock," "Murder in the Cathedral," and "The Cocktail Party." The Complete Poems and Plays of T. S. Eliot is invaluable.


This definitive collection brings together his most important works, including:


  • Landmark Poems: Experience the revolutionary works that defined a generation, from the haunting alienation of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" to the cultural touchstone of "The Waste Land."
  • Five Complete Plays: Discover Eliot's powerful dramas, including the timeless tragedy Murder in the Cathedral and the modern drawing-room mystery of The Cocktail Party.
  • Beloved Whimsical Verse: Delight in the full collection of Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, the whimsical poems that became the basis for the global musical phenomenon Cats.
  • A Modernist Canon: Read the author's major works in one indispensable volume, including the entirety of Four Quartets, "The Hollow Men," and "Ash Wednesday."
