This is the first full-scale analysis of T.S. Eliot's six Ariel Poems as Christmas poems. Through close readings, Atkins argues that these poems considered together emerge as clearly related representations of the impossible union that occurred in the Incarnation.Here G. Douglas Atkins presents T.S. Eliot's six Ariel Poems as dramatizations of the meaning and significance of Christmas: Journey of the Magi, A Song for Simeon, Animula, Marina, Triumphal March, and The Cultivation of Christmas Trees. Commissioned to commemorate the season, these short poems, of around 40 lines each, considered together emerge as clearly related representations of the impossible union that occurred in the Incarnation. In commentary with a narrative drive rhyming with the poems' own progress, Atkins brings the reader along on a journey toward understanding, to the ultimate Mystery. The fresh, new readings demonstrate the artistic achievement of these remarkable poems.

520 1 $a Written gracefully and engagingly, T.S. Eliot's Christmas Poems creates something akin to narrative drive (clearly absent from most scholarly studies), a progression, journey, to that which is hidden - a mystery (in the most literal sense!) - wherein the reader accompanies Atkins who reveals that which Eliot scholarship has largely missed: the complexity and interdependence of the poems and their distinctive expression of the theological and experiential bases and possibilities of Christmas. - Mark Walters, Oxbridge Chair of English Language and Literature, William Jewell College, USA.
