For #ModWrite this week, how about a ModRead? Our new Eliot Studies Annual is out now. Chew on these:
- Special forum: THE ELIOT WE NEED
Higher ed is collapsing, climate crises abound. Our Prez asks: "in what contemporary struggles could we enlist Eliot as an ally?"

If it is a golden age for Eliot studies, it is not in many other places. When I devised the initial call for submissions, I had a certain sense of its urgency. The number and magnitude of crises confronting human beings, I reasoned, called for even Eliot scholars (of all people) to scour their own stores of resources for anything that might be of use in one of our struggles to stay alive and, hopefully, flourish. I asked potential contributors: in what contemporary struggles could we enlist Eliot as an ally? In what contexts of cultural, social, or political debate can you imagine productively invoking Eliot’s words? Among his creative and critical works, what should we be reading right now? When you look out at the world, what do you think we need from Eliot?
