The Ariel Poems: Illustrated poems for Christmas by T.S. Eliot (English) Hardcov

Description: The Ariel Poems by T.S. Eliot A beautiful Christmas gift hardback celebrating the best of the Faber and Faber archive. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A cherished part of his oeuvre, the Ariel Poems of T. S. Eliot were originally commissioned for a pamphlet series of the same name that first ran between 1927 and 1931. (Nobody else seemed to want the title afterward, said Eliot of the series, so I kept it for myself.) That pamphlet series inventively paired an unpublished poem by a leading writer of the day with new artwork from an eminent artist. Thomas Hardy, Siegfried Sassoon, Barnett Friedman and John Nash were among the contributors to the first set, which broadly carried a Christmas theme and which sold for one shilling. The publishers hope was that the pamphlets might double-up as greeting cards, and Eliot himself sent them as festive gifts to the writers on Fabers poetry list.This handsome new publication brings together, for the first time in a single edition, the six poems that T. S. Eliot wrote for the series, and in so doing restores them to the company of the artworks that originally partnered them.

Author Biography Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St Louis, Missouri in 1888. He was educated at Harvard, at the Sorbonne in Paris, and at Merton College, Oxford. He settled in England in 1915, the year in which he married Vivienne Haigh-Wood and also met his contemporary Ezra Pound for the first time. After teaching for a year or so he joined Lloyds Bank in the City of London in 1917, the year in which he published his first volume, Prufrock and Other Observations.
