Asher investigates the effect of politics on the work of T. S. Eliot, particularly the influence of French reactionary thinking. The result is a re-appraisal of Eliot's view of literary history and theory, and new readings of major poems and plays. Asher also discusses how Eliot's ideology altered the study of literature for subsequent generations of critics.
