Ash Wednesday
T.S. Eliot
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Conversion to the Church of England (Anglican Communion) is the inspiration for this book. It speaks to the complexity of accepting faith in the difficult "Lost Generation" era after the Great War. Yet, 21st-century readers will find that this complexity has not resolved, but only deepened.
Anglo-American poet T.S. Eliot wrote this contemplative 6-part poem in 1930. In tone and theme, it departs from Eliot's earlier, more secular work. In continuity with Eliot's previous poetry, Ash Wednesday is rich in literary allusions, from Shakespeare to Dante Alighieri's Purgatorio to Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
T.S. Eliot's Ash Wednesday entered the public domain on January 1st, 2026.
