First English edition of “the most important statement on poetry for the stage in this generation” (T.S. Eliot). Octavo, original cloth. Very good in a very good dust jacket.
The theme of this 'occasional piece' is the use of poetry for dramatic purposes, and the effect of the dramatic purpose upon poetry. Eliot has divided the work into two parts: 'the problems of poetic drama and the conditions which it must fulfill' and the 'more general reasons for wanting to see it restored into place'.
