To understand Eliot's weighty contribution to the pantheon of modernism, one must take account of his dramatic career. Where the Words Are Valid brings to modernist scholars' serious attention a large body of work that has often been glibly patronized and relegated to near-obscurity. Eliot's plays embody more significant connections than disruptions with the rest of his work, and are integrally related to the other elements of his oeuvre. Further, they contain a richly suggestive autobiographical vein that illuminates the persona and psyche of Eliot the playwright and, as well, throwbacks to Eliot as a younger poet and critic.
RANDY MALAMUD is Assistant Professor of English at Georgia State University, where he teaches Modern Literature. He is the author of The Language of Modernism (1989) and T.S. Eliot's Drama: A Research and Production Sourcebook (Greenwood, 1992), as well as articles on Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, and other modern figures. He is currently working on an interdisciplinary study of modernism in literature and the other arts, as well as a cultural studies project about literary images of zoos.
