Publications: TSE Studies Annual – International T. S. Eliot Society

T. S. Eliot Studies Annual

The leading venue for critical reassessment of Eliot’s life and work in light of the ongoing publication of his oeuvre, including poems, prose, letters, and plays. The Annual is published by the International T. S. Eliot Society and Clemson University Press in association with Liverpool University Press, and our articles are accessible via Liverpool, JSTOR Books, University Scholarship Online, and soon Project Muse. Members of the Society are entitled to free access to the Annual.

We welcome submissions pertaining to any aspect of Eliot’s work, life, and influence. The Annual publishes essays, research notes, book reviews, and special topic forums.

Please send submissions and queries to the editors at tseliot.studies.annual@gmail.com

CFP for Volume 6

Volume 5 of the Annual is online

Our featured article in Volume 5 is Manju Jain’s “Through the Looking Glass: T. S. Eliot and Indian Philosophy,” a new look at Eliot’s engagement with Indian philosophy in light of his Complete Prose and Letters. Jain examines Eliot’s many points of contact with and ambivalence towards Sanskrit texts and Eastern religious ideas, comparing his attitudes to those of his teachers and contemporaries. With extensive, searching documentation, Jain’s scholarship offers the definitive investigation of Eliot and Indian philosophy for our generation. We are pleased to be able to make her work digitally available to the whole world.

Volume 5 also includes a forum on teaching The Waste Land, articles by Doug Mao, Ria Banerjee, Sarah Kennedy, Sara Fitzgerald, and Leonard Diepeveen. We inaugurate two new sections: Research Notes by emerging scholars—Isabelle Stuart, Caylin Capra-Thomas, and Huiming Liu—and Book Reviews. The wealth of new books on Eliot published in 2022 alone made reviews an imperative; this volume includes reviews of books by Lyndall Gordon, Robert Crawford, Jayme Stayer, Derek Gladwin, and Rick de Villiers.
