【Lecture Abstract】:T S Eliot's critically neglected poem Marina is among his finest, most beautiful and personal. In addition to a reading of this poem in which it is hoped to convey some of its magnificent sonorous qualities this lecture will discuss some of Eliot's indebtedness to Shakespeare's[?] largely ignored but fascinating late romance Pericles, Prince of Tyre.
