Eliot's controversial and speculative lectures, given in Virginia in 1933, and published the next year as After Strange Gods, are republished in this volume for the first time since 1934. Here, he attempts to interpret aesthetic and artistic concerns in a broader moral frame that includes sociological and theological themes. Throughout the volume, Eliot is engrossed in the emerging field of Christian sociology, which considers how Christian cultures operate and are structured. The arc of this period begins in the stark moralizing of After Strange Gods and ends in the more generous vision of The Idea of a Christian Society, written as Europe moved inexorably toward another total war. There are eight pieces published in this volume for the first time, including two lectures on Christianity, "The Church as an Ecumenical Society" and "The Christian in the Modern World," a short radio broadcast, and two major literary lectures, "Tradition and the Practice of Poetry" and the two talks gathered here as "The Development of Shakespeare's Verse." There are a further fifteen items that had been previously published but were unrecorded in the Gallup bibliography, plus another eight signed letters and documents with multiple authorship, also unrecorded in Gallup. Here are reproduced, with full textual notes and annotations, all of the books, articles, commentaries, radio broadcasts, lectures, letters to the editor, and other prose forms in which Eliot sought to reach broad and diverse audiences on the matters that most compelled his attention in this tumultuous decade.
