"Richard Badenhausen examines the crucial role that collaboration with other writer's played in the development of T.S. Eliot's works from the earliest poetry and unpublished prose to the late plays Examining a wide range of familiar and uncollected materials, Badenhausen explores Eliot's social, psychological, and textual encounters with collaborators such as Ezra Pound, John Hayward, Martin Browne, and Vivienne Eliot Finally, this study shows how Eliot's later work increasingly accommodates his audience as he attempted to apply his theories of collaboration more broadly to social, cultural, and political concerns."--Jacket He demonstrates Eliot's dependence on collaboration in order to create, but also his struggle to accept the implications of the process. In case-studies of Eliot's collaborations, Badenhausen reveals for the first time the complexities of Eliot's theory and practice of collaboration Introduction -- Reaching the stillness of music --"Speaking as ourselves": Authorship, impersonality, and the creative process in the early essays --A conversation about "the longest poem in the English langwidge": Pound, Eliot, and The Waste Land --"Helping the poets ... write for the theatre": The transitional essays on collaboration, community, and drama --A dramatist and his midwives: Eliot's collaborations in the theatre --The Possum and the "creating critick": Eliot's collaboration with John Hayward --Conclusion: Placing collaboration in perspective: Voice and influence in the late essays.
