Four Quartets is written by what British essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic, and "one of the twentieth century's major poets"?
Four Quartets Four Quartets is a set of four poems written by T. S. Eliot that were published individually over a six-year period. The first poem, "Burnt Norton", was written and published with a collection of his early works following the production of Eliot's play "Murder in the Cathedral". After a few years, Eliot composed the other three poems, "East Coker", "The Dry Salvages", and "Little Gidding", which were written during World War II and the air-raids on Great Britain. The poems were not collected until Eliot's New York publisher printed them together in 1943. They were first published as a series in Great Britain in 1941 to 1942 towards the end of Eliot's poetic career.
Afternoon Men Afternoon Men is the first published novel by the English writer Anthony Powell. In its characters and themes it anticipates some of the ground Powell would cover in "A Dance to the Music of Time", a twelve-volume cycle that spans much of the 20th century and is widely considered Powell's masterpiece.
