The most authoritative life of Eliot ever written, by acclaimed biographer Lyndall GordonT. S. Eliot once spoke of a lifetime burning in every moment.

She brilliantly explores his poetry, drama and essays in relationship to the four quite different women in his life and to his time in America and England. The Imperfect Life of T.S. Eliot follows the trials of a searcher whose flaws and doubts speak to all of us whose lives are imperfect.''The most valuable single book yet published about Eliot'' Jonathan Raban, Sunday Times''Subtle and authoritative'' Aida Edemariam, Guardian''Daring, strong and psychologically brilliant'' Cynthia Ozick, New Yorker''An intellectually demanding, sophisticated and distinguished book...

Among the greatest of poets, TS Eliot protected his privacy while publicly associated with three women: two wives and a church-going companion. This presentation concealed a life-long love for an American: Emily Hale, a drama teacher to whom he wrote (and later suppressed) over a thousand letters. Hale was the source of "memory and desire" in The Waste Land; she is the Hyacinth Girl.Drawing on the dramatic new material of the only recently unsealed 1,131 letters Eliot wrote to Hale, leading biographer Lyndall Gordon reveals a hidden Eliot. Emily Hale now becomes the first and consistently important woman of life -- and his art. Gordon also offers new insight into the other spirited women who shaped him: Vivienne, the flamboyant wife with whom he shared a private wasteland; Mary Trevelyan, his companion in prayer; and Valerie Fletcher, the young disciple to whom he proposed when his relationship with Emily foundered. Eliot kept his women apart as each ignited his transformations as poet, expatriate, convert, and, finally, in his latter years, a man `made for love.''Emily Hale was at the centre of a love drama he conceived and the inspiration for the lines he wrote to last beyond their time.

Outsiders tells the stories of five novelists - Mary Shelley, Emily Brontë, George Eliot, Olive Schreiner, Virginia Woolf - and their famous novels.We have long known their individual greatness but in linking their creativity to their lives as outsiders, this group biography throws new light on the genius they share. ''Outsider'', ''outlaw'', ''outcast'': a woman''s reputation was her security and each of these five lost it. As writers, they made these identities their own, taking advantage of their separation from the dominant order to write their novels.All five were motherless. With no female model at hand, they learnt from books; and if lucky, from an enlightened man; and crucially each had to imagine what a woman could be in order to invent a voice of their own. They understood female desire: the passion and sexual bravery in their own lives infused their fictions.What they have in common also is the way they inform one another, and us, across the generations. Even today we do more than read them; we listen and live with them.Lyndall Gordon''s biographies have always shown the indelible connection between life and art: an intuitive, exciting and revealing approach that has been highly praised and much read ...

In this groundbreaking and unconventional biography, Lyndall Gordon dismantles the insistent image of Charlotte Bronte as a modest Victorian lady, the slave to duty in the shadow of tombstones, revealing instead a strong and fiery woman who shaped her own life and transformed it into art. ''Sensitive, open-minded, vivid, full of psychological insight, [Gordon''s] book is a brilliant reappraisal of Charlotte Bronte''s life, work, and the flow between the two . . . It is also a deeply moving story'' Jackie Wullschlager, Financial Times
