Publisher's Note: In 1922 T.S. Eliot sold to a benefactor a notebook containing some 50 poems he had written in his 20s. For nearly a half-century the notebook remained a secret; now it is available to the general reader, and amply demonstrates why the work of Eliot has been read, analyzed, discussed, and criticized more than that of any other modernist poet. Included here are early drafts of such important poems as 'THE LOVE SONG OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK' and 'PORTRAIT OF A LADY,' as well as pages of bawdy verse that Eliot never shared with his readers and that reveal a very different man from Eliot's public persona. This important volume finally reveals what inspired and influenced the early work of one this century's most important men of letters.
