After Strange Gods: A Primer of Modern Heresy; The Page-Barbour Lectures at the University of Virginia, 1933 (Classic Reprint)

On literature and belief
Three lectures in which Eliot propounds his theories and beliefs in relation to a changing society's understanding of morality, individualism, belief, and tradition, and how this is expressed by authors and artistis. Interesting exploration of the concept of "blasphemy" in a dualist, society. Particuarly disparaging about Thomas Hardy and D.H. Lawrence, and the "cult of the personality".
