The Letters of T.S. Eliot

1926-1927

By: Thomas Stearns Eliot,Valerie Eliot

In the period covered by this richly detailed collection, which brings the poet to the age of forty, T.S. Eliot was to set a new course for his life and work. Forsaking the Unitarianism of his American forebears, he was received into the Church of England and naturalised as a British citizen - a radical and public alteration of the intellectual and spiritual direction of his career.The demands of Eliot's professional life as writer and editor became more complex and exacting during these years. The celebrated but financially-pressed periodical he had been editing since 1922 - The Criterion - switched between being a quarterly and a monthly, before being rescued by the fledgling house of Faber & Gwyer. 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. His Ariel poems, Journey of the Magi (1927) and A Song for Simeon (1928) established a new manner and vision for the poet of The Waste Land and 'The Hollow Men'. These are also the years in which Eliot published two sections of an exhilaratingly funny, savage, jazz-influenced play-in-verse - 'Fragment of a Prologue' and 'Fragment of an Agon' - which were subsequently brought together as Sweeney Agonistes. In addition, he struggled to translate the remarkable work Anabase, by St.-John Perse, which was to be a signal influence upon his own later poetry. This correspondence with friends and mentors vividly documents all the stages of Eliot's personal and artistic transformation during these crucial years, the continuing anxieties of his private life, and the forging of his public reputation.

The Letters of T.S. Eliot

Volume 6: 1932-1933

By: T. S. Eliot

1932 and 1933, the years covered in this sixth volume of the letters of T. S. Eliot, mark a period the Nobel Prize-winning poet, playwright, and essayist referred to as "the happiest I can ever remember in my life." Written largely during his Depression Era travels across the United States, Eliot's correspondences deal in part with his determination to dissolve his torturous eighteen-year marriage with Vivian. Rich in gossip gleaned during his tenure as Harvard lecturer and on a speaking tour that took him from New York to California, the letters describe Eliot's encounters with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edmund Wilson, Marianne Moore, and other notable figures of the day. The close of 1933 finds Eliot back in England where his is commissioned to write "The Rock: a Pageant Play", a collaborative effort that will be the proving found for his subsequent theatrical triumph "Murder in the Cathedral".

The Sacred Wood

By: T. S. Eliot

In this collection of critical essays, eminent poet T. S. Eliot discusses several of the issues of modernist writing. The best-known essay of the collection, "Tradition and the Individual Talent," puts forth Eliot's theory of a literary tradition that comprises the whole of European literature from Homer to the present, and of the relationship of the individual poet to that tradition. Another notable essay is "Hamlet and His Problems," in which Eliot expresses his theory of the "objective correlative." The book also includes Eliot's thoughts on Marlowe, Jonson, Massinger, and Dante. An important work for anyone who is seriously interested in poetry or literary criticism.
