Excellent... Full of voices, friendships and conflicts, Crawford's book is rich and dense as Christmas cake... [An] outstanding biography.
Sean O'Brien, Daily Telegraph, *5-star review*
Excellent... Nothing is simple within this hefty, detailed narrative and Crawford remains impeccably fair... [an] absorbing biography.
Bel Mooney, Daily Mail, *Book of the Week*
Eliot After the Waste Land... reveals the public and personal experiences that inspired some of Eliot's masterpieces
Observer
Astonishing... This book is properly complex, both in terms of the art and the life.
Stuart Kelly, Scotsman
A thorough, solid sequel to Crawford's much-praised Young Eliot... This biography...is going to play a large part in any future assessment of Eliot.
Philip Hensher, Spectator
The breath, depth and level of detail confirm this as the definitive record of the poet's life... Crawford has done a magnificent job... if we are still writing about Eliot a century from now, this biography will surely remain the first point of reference.
Guy Stagg, Tablet
Crawford's work is impeccable... [A] magisterial account... the tender, elegiac final notes of this book are...striking.
Erica Wagner, New Statesman
