'… a long overdue act of critical justice … Eliot studies will
never be the same post-Julius.' Tom Paulin, London Review of
Books
'… a greater, and always a more honest, admirer of Eliot than those
who habitually plaster him with saintliness … Julius's book is
mould-breaking.' Frederick Raphael, The Weekly Standard
'Julius has forced us to rethink some of our most fundamental,
received ideas about art … an important - and long overdue - book.'
The New York Times
