T. S. Eliot: The Pattern in the Carpet by Elisabeth Schneider offers a searching exploration of Eliot’s poetry and criticism through what she calls “double vision”: the simultaneous awareness of each poem as an autonomous work and as part of the larger, developing pattern of a poet’s lifetime achievement. Schneider situates Eliot’s oft-cited doctrine of the “extinction of personality” within the arc of his changing critical statements, showing how his early insistence on impersonality gradually gave way to recognition of the poet’s voice, private experience, and unifying “developing personality” across his oeuvre. In her account, Eliot’s prose criticism becomes less a rigid dogma than a continuous gloss on his poetic practice, itself a record of tensions between detachment and intimate expression.
This study places Eliot’s critical pronouncements—his emphasis on impersonality, his Shakespearean analogies, his revisions of stance—into dialogue with his poetry, tracing how each informs the other. Schneider’s analysis provides readers and scholars with a framework to approach Eliot’s work as a unified whole without neglecting the individuality of its parts, and to read his poems with the tact and caution that Eliot himself demanded. At once historical and interpretive, The Pattern in the Carpet invites renewed consideration of the interplay between art and life, theory and practice, in the career of one of modernism’s most enigmatic and commanding figures.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
