In his minor work "After Strange Gods" (1933), Eliot deprecates the presence of "free-thinking Jews," who are said to be "undesirable" in large numbers, for 'reasons of race and religion.'. The philosopher George Boas, who had previously been on friendly terms with Eliot, wrote to him that, "I can at least rid you of the company of one." Eliot did not reply. In later years Eliot disavowed the book, and refused to allow any part to be reprinted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolf2191 (talkcontribs) 19:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
