When Denis Donoghue left Warrenpoint and went to Dublin in September 1946, he entered University College as a student of Latin and English. A few months later he also started as a student of lieder at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. These studies have informed his reading of English, Irish, and American literature. Now in this volume, one of our most distinguished readers of modern literature offers his most personal book of literary criticism. Donoghue's Words Alone is an intellectual memoir, a lucid and illuminating account of his engagement with the works of T. S. Eliot-from initial undergraduate encounters with "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" to later submission to Eliot's entire writings. "The pleasure of Eliot's words persists," Donoghue says, "only because in good faith it can't be denied." Submission to Eliot, in Donoghue's case, involves the ear as much as it does the mind. He is a reader who listens attentively and a writer whose own music in these pages commands attention. Whether he is writing about Eliot's poetry or confronting the (often contentious) prose, Donoghue eloquently demonstrates what it means to read and to hear a master of language.

评分没什么论点，就是娓娓道来式地整个细读一遍，很适合闲读。里面有一些非常个人的私货和评价，可以不同意但还是不住要赞叹精微的感受力。
评分读了“Reading Four Quartets”，以及之前还读过Prufrock那篇。一开始我以为Four Quartets里边，为时间塑形的正是意识，回忆，想象，这些充满了个人的色彩的东西，但是读了作者的解读以后，发现在Eliot的世界观里边，它们是不完整不完善的self-engrossing fancy，是需要为了理解存在于外部世界的“现实”和“意义”而减少或者摒弃的东西。哎所以还是打消写Eliot的念头惹，不懂他……
