Description
The Letters of T. S. Eliot Volume 4: 1928-1929 brings together a pivotal period in the life and work of one of the 20th century's most influential poets, critics, editors, and publishers. During this time, Eliot faced significant professional challenges as he navigated the transition from patronage to independent publishing with Faber & Gwyer, which later became Faber & Faber. As editor of The Criterion, an internationalist literary periodical, Eliot cultivated relationships with prominent writers and thinkers while also supplementing his income through various writing and broadcasting projects. This volume documents a period of personal and spiritual consolidation for Eliot, marked by the return home of his wife Vivien after a stay in a French psychiatric hospital, as well as the closure of his correspondence with his mother.
