TS Eliot's Religious Poetry
from Beyond Belief · host BBC Radio 4
Ernie Rea and guests discuss the enduring appeal of TS Eliot's religious poetry.It's 50 years since TS Eliot died. His later work, most notably the Four Quartets, is informed by a Christian Faith which became one of the pillars which sustained his life. How religious is his poetry? And what does it have to say to a society which many feel has lost its Christian moorings? Ernie is joined by Lyndall Gordon, author of The Imperfect Life of T S Eliot; the Rt Rev the Lord Harris, former Bishop of Oxford; and Roz Kaveney, poet, and critic and author of a series on Eliot for the Guardian newspaper.Producer: Rosie Dawson.
