Description

The Letters of T.S. Eliot: 1898-1922 by Thomas Stearns Eliot This fifth volume of the collected letters of poet, playwright, essayist, and literary critic Thomas Stearns Eliot covers the years 1930 through 1931. During this period, Eliot's personal life was marked by significant change, including his growing estrangement from his wife Vivien and his increasing dedication to the Anglican Church. Despite these personal trials, Eliot remained a prolific writer, composing poems such as Ash-Wednesday and Marina, and publishing Coriolan and a translation of Saint-John Perse's Anabase. As director at Faber & Faber and editor of The Criterion, he played an important role in promoting the work of other notable writers, including W.H. Auden and James Joyce. Through these letters, readers gain insight into Eliot's life as a great artist navigating personal, professional, and spiritual crossroads.
