...modern poets. In an illuminating essay on T. S. Eliot he anticipates and answers many of the questions readers are likely to ask about Eliot's poetry. He shows in detail how Eliot mixes pretentious eloquence and street slang, ancient myths and snatches of borrowed verse to portray an age of "social fright."

Since the purpose of the assignment was to portray the Radcliffe community as it really is, no one was allowed to comb her hair, change her clothes, or put on more make up. Thus, although it is hard to believe, Radcliffe girls are actually more attractive than they are pictured here...
