Eliot's work sheds light on-and proves useful to-the contemporary struggle for a freer and more just world.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow does literature from the past speak to the present? What can we, as readers committed to combatting oppression, learn from figures whose writing we love but some of whose beliefs we may oppose? Quite a lot, according to Patrick R. Query. To make this case, Query turns to a writer and critic as canonical as he is controversial-T. S. Eliot. Passionately argued and eminently readable, \u003ci\u003eFreedom Is Not Enough\u003c\/i\u003e shows how Eliot makes a surprising yet vital ally in the struggle to fill the world with more freedom, equality, and human dignity. Without ignoring or downplaying the bigotry and elitism that are ineluctable parts of Eliot's legacy, Query argues that we need today what Eliot has to teach us: about migration, peace, friendship, radicalism, anti-fascism, liberation, resistance, and hope. Drawing on the full scope of Eliot's oeuvre-from his most well-known poetry and prose to newly available archival materials-\u003ci\u003eFreedom Is Not Enough\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how to use Eliot and literature more broadly to confront the forces conspiring to turn our world into a waste land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick R.
