The book explores the spiritual themes underpinning one of the twentieth century's most celebrated literary masterpieces. The author unpacks and elucidates for the modern reader the complex religious and philosophical ideas which influenced T S Eliot's poem.


Past, present and future are brought together; merging ancient and medieval thinkers with inter-war Europe and the twenty-first century technological world.


The result is a compelling retelling of the journey of spiritual transformation as Eliot understood it.
