Like them, he is an expatriate. A poet and critic long before he was a playwright alike, in his long poem The Waste Land (1922) and in his brilliant literary essays, he founded a movement. Becoming ever more conservative and religious-minded, Eliot finally, in 1927, stated his position as "classicist in literature, royalist in politics, and Anglo-Catholic in religion." All his later works are colored by this credo...

...Rogers exhibit attempts to trace the development of his art from his first decoration of a poem, that of Charles Stuart Pratt's "Daniel Gabriel Rossetti," up to the gigantic two-volume edition of the Oxford Lectern Bible which appeared in 1935. The use of different type faces characterize Rogers' fine editions and along with examples of his work, his reason for using the particular design is given. Among the varieties of type is found his own widely known Centaur...
