S.Eliot was the rarest kind: one who was able to place his anti-Semitism at the service of his art. Anthony Juliuss study looks both at the detail of Eliots deployment of anti-Semitic discourse and at the role it played in his greater literary undertaking. He analyses the anti-Semitic poems and examines the figure of the free-thinking Jew which appears in the prose works, and in conclusion he considers whether Eliots post-war work made amends for this aspect of his earlier writings.
