The Cambridge Companion to T. S. Eliot (PS3509.L43 Z64728 1994), edited by A. David Moody, is a good introduction and reference. Ronald Tamplin's A Preface to T. S. Eliot (PS3509.L43 Z8737 1988) is a brief introduction. Biographies of Eliot include Peter Ackroyd's T. S. Eliot (PS3509.L43 Z54 1984) and Tony Sharpe's T. S. Eliot: A Literary Life ( PS3509.L43 Z86485 1991). The facsimile of Eliot's first drafts of The Waste Land and Pound's revisions to them is fascinating and revelatory: The Waste Land: A Facsimile and Transcript of the Original Drafts Including the Annotations of Ezra Pound (PS3509.L43 W3 1971), edited by Valerie Eliot. For Eliot's relations to modernism, see Louis Menand's Discovering Modernism: T. S. Eliot and His Context (PS3509.L43 Z7854 1987), Leon Surette's The Birth of Modernism: Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, and the Occult (PN56.M54 S87 1993), Sanford Schwartz's The Matrix of Modernism: Pound, Eliot, and Early Twentieth-Century Thought (PS324 .S38 1985), C. K. Stead's Pound, Yeats, Eliot , and the Modernist Movement (PR605.M63 S7 1986), and Gregory S. Jay's T. S. Eliot and the Poetics of Literary History (PS3509.L43 Z6848 1983). On Eliot's politics and religion, see Kenneth Asher's T. S. Eliot and Ideology (PS3509.L43 Z598 1995), and Lucy McDiarmid's Saving Civilization: Yeats, Eliot, and Auden Between the Wars (PR605.S6 M38 1984).
