Description

The Gloucester Notebook is a rare and significant publication, featuring the original notebook in which Thomas Stearns Eliot first began to write his poems at Harvard. This leather-bound volume, with marbled-paper sides, was purchased during the summer vacations of the Eliot family in Gloucester, Massachusetts. For the first time, this book brings together the original notebook with facing transcriptions of around 60 poems, including the first transcription of Prufrock. An introduction by Robert McCrum provides valuable context for the publication of this volume, shedding light on its significance within the literary world. This facsimile edition is a unique opportunity to explore Eliot's early work and gain insight into the development of one of literature's most influential poets.
