Macavity's Not There: TS Eliot in the 21st Century

He inspired the musical Cats, but can TS Eliot's poetry still have relevance today? Michael Alexander investigates. From July 2009.

TS Eliot may be regarded by some as the most significant poet in the English language over the past 100 years, but how much does he mean to modern readers? As a major project begins to edit everything he wrote, author and critic Michael Alexander explores where Eliot, and poetry in general, stand in national culture.
