Beyond Belief - TS Eliot's Religious Poetry
Download TS Eliot's Religious Poetry
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.
