About This Item
Harcourt Brace, 1954. First American Edition, 1st Printing. Cloth. Very good/good. Dust jacket is faded and has some rubbing. Unclipped, but dust jacket paper is brittle and some of the corners have snapped. This is a first American edition of T.S. Eliot's play in verse. Bound in black cloth with gilt lettering on spine.
Synopsis
A modern verse play that touches on the sources of longing and the need to be loved. "Never has Eliot's apparently effortless prosody been more precise.... He has achieved complete mastery of words" (Kirkus Reviews). "It is a wise, witty, elegant play whose characters speak finely and shrewdly" (Chicago Sunday Tribune).
