'That crown which he set on his lifetime's effort.' Ted Hughes
Four Quartets is the culminating achievement of T. S. Eliot's career as a poet.
This edition of Eliot's enduring masterpiece is based on the design made by Giovanni Mardersteig for his letterpress edition of 1960 and marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of its first publication in the UK by Faber & Faber in 1944.
'The triumphant achievement of the Four Quartets is in the peculiar wholeness and isolation of their poetic world . . . a world of formal perfection.' Al Alvarez
'The most original contribution to poetry that has been made in our time.' Edwin Muir
