Geoffrey B. Williams' book The Reason in a Storm: A Study of Ambiguity in the Writings of T. S. Eliot (1991) offers a portrait of the artist based on his life and work. Williams describes the pivot in Eliot's life from the atheistic earlier poetry up to 1925, to the theistic later poetry. The pivotal event in Eliot's life was his conversion to orthodox trinitarian Christianity in 1927.
