Eliot surprised his brother during a visit to Rome in 1926, when he fell to his knees at St. Peter's, and he surprised his Bloomsbury friends a year later when he was received into the Church of England. Many studies of Eliot's writings have mentioned his religious beliefs, but often without full consideration and understanding. This book presents the subject in rich detail, from a number of different perspectives, giving readers the opportunity to see the topic in its full complexity.
