The articles on this page are divided into two groups; a first group which lists articles of less than six months old, listed by date of appearance, and a second group which lists older articles listed by author name. Other indexes, such as subject, date of appearance, title of magazine and title of article, will be made available at a later date. If you wish to make any additions, please send a mail to a.arum@wxs.nl, with as a subject title "Articles on Eliot." (as you can see, this page could use some additions). Finally, there is an 'on this site' section, which lists the larger texts behind the annotations to the various poems.
