The Three Voices of Poetry.
ELIOT, T.S.
Item Number: 109941
New York: Cambridge University Press, 1954.
First edition of Eliot’s essay on the modes of poetic composition delivered as the annual lecture of England’s National Book League. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket.
Of the three voice of poetry, here defined by T.S. Eliot, the first voice is that of the poet talking to himself, directly expressing himself. The second voice is that of the poet addressing an audience, offering a message, or the poem written to amuse. The third voice is that of the poet when he is creating a character, as in a poetic drama. The essay was delivered in the form of a lecture before the National Book League of England and offers insight into the mind and heart of the great poet at the height of his creative process.
