Great Riches
The existence of men having greater fortunes than ever before known in our country has impelled President Eliot to point out that, in truth, there are few of the real pleasures of life which cannot be secured by persons of moderate incomes; and he indicates that the possession of great means does not give a monopoly over happiness. The man of moderate fortune can always have household fittings sufficient to satisfy bodily comfort; and great riches can do no more. The same is true of natural scenery, music, the drama, sailboats, and horses. Even in traveling, eyes to see beauty are of more value than sumptuous equipment and automobiles.As to luxuries, objects of art, jewels, care of health, t...

T. S. Eliot
In this brilliant exploration of T.S. Eliot's work, prize-winning poet Raine reveals that an implicit controlling theme--the buried life, or the failure of feeling--unfolds in surprisingly varied ways throughout Eliot's work. He illuminates the paradoxical Eliot--an exacting anti-romantic realist, skeptical of the emotions, yet incessantly troubled by the fear of emotional failure.
George Eliot, Poetess
The position of George Eliot’s poetry within Victorian poetry and within her own canon is crucial for an accurate picture of the writer, as Wendy S. Williams shows in her in-depth examination of Eliot’s poetry and her role as poetess. Williams argues that even more clearly than her fiction, Eliot’s poetry reveals the development of her belief in sympathy as a replacement for orthodox religious views. With knowledge of the Bible and a firm understanding of society’s expectations for female authorship, Eliot consciously participated in a tradition of women poets who relied on feminine piety and poetry to help refine society through compassion and fellow-feeling. Williams examines Eliot’s poetry in relationship to her gender and sexual politics and her shifting religious beliefs, showing that Eliot’s views on gender and religion informed her adoption of the poetess persona. By taking into account Eliot’s poetess treatment of community and motherhood, Williams suggests, readers come to view her not only as a writer of fiction, an intellectual, and a social commentator, but also as a woman who longed to nurture, participate in, and foster human relationships.
