Elliot approaches the work of Elliot from a particular perspective which, by introducing the writer via a biographical sketch and a survey of his cultural and social context, encourages readers to understand Elliot's work in the period it was written and provides an excellent introduction to one of the greatest literary icons of the 20th century.
