Eliot, and the language and literature of the Anglo-Catholic tradition. He was appointed by the University of Sydney as Australia's first Professor of Poetry and Poetics, and holds a notable reputation as a teacher and mentor to students, and as a friend to peers and colleagues. He has also been notable as a public intellectual, with a particular interest in the role of literature in the modern education system, and the role of the humanities in the modern university.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a collection of scholarly papers, contemplative essays and poems, written or contributed in honour of Barry Spurr.
