Where one starts from -- Pose and poetry -- Marriage -- Literary life, Sweeney and other selves -- "The Waste Land" -- Sweeney at large -- Conversion: what kind of new life? -- "Ash-Wednesday" and the ending of a marriage -- Torment and Four quartets -- Eminence and theatre -- My daughter.

This biography frees T.S. Eliot from his cold and unemotional image. It offers a sympathetic study of his first marriage which does not attempt to blame, but to understand; it shows how Eliot's poetry can be read for its revelations about his inner world.
