Yale University Press, 1 jan 2011 - 862 pagina's
The first volume of Eliot's correspondence covers his childhood in St. Louis, Missouri, through 1922, when he married , settled in England and published The Waste Land. The contents of the original edition were assembled and edited by his widow, Valerie, from collections, libraries, and private sources worldwide. Originally published on the centenary of Eliot's birth. Volume two covers the time period of Eliot's publication of The Hallow Men and his developing ideas about poetry. Volume three is a richly detailed collection. T. S. Eliot was to set a new course for his life and work. The demands of his professional life as writer and editor became more complex and exacting. The celebrated but financially pressed periodical he had been editing since 1922. The Criterion: A Literary Review switched between being a quarterly and a monthly; in addition to writing numerous essays and editorials, lectures, reviews, introductions and prefaces, his letters show Eliot involving himself wholeheartedly in the business of his new career as a publisher.
