Torrent description
Those who knew Eliot were accustomed to describe him as \'\'a company of actors inside a suit\'\' ¬タモ Harvard dandy and Left Bank decadent, Christian ascetic and bawdy balladeer, American Magus and man in bowler hat, \'\'eminent man of letters\'\' and the most radical poetic experimentalist of the age.
Though he defined himself as a \'\'Jamesian American witnessing the Decline of the West\'\', he was aware of his own deracination and in a letter to Herbert Read he reports himself as having the feeling of being \'\'never anything anywhere.\'\' he came fromYankee stock but was brought up in Missouri and spent the pre-war years travelling between England, France and Germany In the aftermath of the Great War many felt the same cultural pessimism, there being a pervasive feeling in Europe of loss of identity.
Here we can listen to the familiar C of E curate\'s voice in a recent remastering, a reading of remarkable power in spite of the ascetic dryness, slight quavers and surface inoffensiveness. It has always been known that there was more information on shellac that the needles of the time could extract and those who know only the old LP and tape recordings of Eliot will be impressed by the considerably greater sense we can now have of his voice\'s presence. I recommend that you download the files in lossless FLAC rather than the mp3 files @128.
Robert Speaight was Eliot\'s contemporary and recorded a version of \'\'The Wasteland\'\' at about the same time. This too is another High Church voice, but a professionally trained one and some may prefer it for that reason.This is a first rate reading of the poem and is from recently remastered shellac discs.
To follow will be \'\'The Wasteland\'\' read by Alec Guinness, Fiona Shaw, Paul Schofield, Charles Tomlinson, Ted Hughes and sundry others.
