There are scholars who might initially differ with him in regard to his formulations about Eliot’s indebtedness to Indian thought and tradition, but they will have to accept them ultimately in the presence of well-researched and well-documented internal and external evidences.

Holmes of the Transylvania University, U.S.A., besides a host of Indian Professors and scholars, have acknowledged the truth. The book comprising eighteen papers present a comprehensive view of Eliot and bring out his multi-pronged genius. Eliot was an American by birth and education, an Anglo-Catholic by religion, a Britisher by way of ‘naturalized citizenship’, a deep-rooted European by sense of culture, a ‘universal poet’ and an ‘international hero’ by means of his creative talent and art. The book highlights Eliot’s literary personality and the different aspects of his creative art. These papers undoubtedly broaden the scope of approach to Eliot. The book is Designed in such a way that it will attract both common and specialist readers.
