?T.S. Eliot Poetry and Theory: Time and Creativity? is an eminently readable exposition of the microprocesses of creativity. Placing itself firmly at the intersection of psychology, expostulations on ?time?, explication of Eliot?s poetic works and critical theory, and understanding of the creative process, the work has an original contribution to make in each of the intersecting disciplines.
The author?s control over her material is thorough and her insights incisive. The work will be of value to scholars of Eliot, explorers of ?time? and creativity and discussants of theory alike. For the students it will serve as a very useful entry point into the many mazes of the creative mind.
