Vivienne and T.S. Eliot with Virginia Woolf Print
Est: $300 - $450
T.S. Eliot, whose full name was Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965), was a renowned American-British poet, playwright, essayist, and literary critic. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential and important figures in 20th-century literature. Here are some key points about T.S. Eliot and his contributions to literature:**Early Life:**1. **Birth and Education:** T.S. Eliot was born on September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri, A. He attended Harvard University and later studied at Oxford University in England.**Literary Career:**2. **The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock:** In 1915, Eliot published his breakthrough poem, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," which is often considered a masterpiece of modernist poetry. This poem introduced his distinct style characterized by fragmented, stream-of-conscioness narrative and themes of disillionment and alienation.3. **The Waste Land:** Eliot's most famo work is "The Waste Land," published in 1922. This epic poem is a complex and fragmented exploration of modernity, culture, and the aftermath of World War I. It is considered one of the most important poems of the 20th century.4. **Conversion to Anglicanism:** Eliot converted to Anglicanism (the Church of England) in 1927, a significant personal and spiritual transformation that influenced his later works.**Literary Criticism:**5. **Essays and Criticism:** Eliot was also a prominent literary critic, and his essays and criticism played a crucial role in shaping modern literary thought. His essay "Tradition and the Individual Talent" is particularly influential.**Dramatic Works:**6. **The Cocktail Party:** In addition to his poetry and essays, Eliot wrote several successful plays, including "The Cocktail Party" (1949), which won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948.**Later Life:**7. **Citizenship:** Eliot became a British subject in 1927 and lived most of his life in England. He worked for the publishing hoe Faber and Faber and was associated with prominent literary figures of his time.**Legacy:**8. **Impact on Modern Poetry:** T.S. Eliot's innovative and experimental approach to poetry significantly influenced the development of modernist and postmodernist literature.9. **Nobel Prize:** In 1948, Eliot received the Nobel Prize in Literature for his outstanding contribution to poetry, criticism, and drama.10. **Cultural and Literary Significance:** Eliot's works, particularly "The Waste Land" and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," continue to be studied and celebrated for their profound exploration of the human condition and the complexities of modernity.T.S. Eliot's literary contributions are marked by their intellectual depth, poetic innovation, and exploration of themes related to identity, alienation, spirituality, and the challenges of the modern world. His impact on 20th-century literature and poetry remains enduring and influential. Measures 18 x 24.

Duncan-Jones, I think that I met your wife in Cambridge a number of years ago, and saying that he know her work, and knows his father and who Austin is, then proceeding to give his thoughts about Duncan-Joness proposal for a new education journal, What you have in mind is rally a technical educational journal, though I should imagine it might overlap in a slight extent with Scrutiny, and I really dont feel that any observations of mine could have much value. I feel sure, however, that there ought to be a place for a magazine devoted to the serious problems of higher education, then referring to the Times Educational Supplement, encouraging him to continue to explore the possibilities but saying that it is very unlikely that Faber and Faber will want to undertake any periodicals after the war, referring to their own experience with Nursing Mirror and Criterion but saying that besides the difficulty in knowing what the conditions will be after the war, in their experience magazines are generally better handled by separate organisations, and concluding that he would be happy to meet and talk it over if he still thinks he can make a useful contribution, one word corrected in ink in Eliots hand, 2 pages on letterhead, 4to QTY: (2) NOTE: Austin Ernest Duncan-Jones (1908-1967) was a British philosopher.

Est: £1,200 - £1,500
all to Mrs [Dorothy] Dudley Short, relating to the poetry recital given at the Wigmore Hall [14 September 1943], the first saying he cannot remember whether he read 'The Fire Sermon' or not, 'If I did, I am pretty sure that I would have read the whole of that section of "The Waste Land" entire. Somebody else who was present might remember, but if you are pressed for time you are at liberty to include the "Fire Sermon" [these last three words inserted in Eliot's holograph] on the same terms as "Gerontion" and "Journey of the Magi", the second saying that Faber cannot afford to undertake any anthology of this type at this time, the third saying that he does not feel any enthusiasm for the general publication of an anthology of this kind as there are other anthologies for the general reader, 'and I doubt whether any of us [poets] would be keen to be represented in an anthology solely by a piece which we had chosen as suitable for recitation to a particular audience. As for a private impression of these poems to be circulated only to the National Council of Women, that is another affair', saying he has no personal objection, five words added in his holograph, the fourth thanking her for the proof of the booklet which he returns herewith and expressing concerns that the book is being offered to the general public in which case 'we should have to insist upon fees for the several authors', the final letter thanking her for the copy of 'Poets Choice', and saying that as there is so little space for reviews, such reviews should be confined to books which the public could obtain, minor creasing, all on Faber letterhead, punch holes and pin marks to upper left corners, each one page, 4to - Quantity (5)

to Mrs [Dorothy Dudley] Short, concerning his choice of poems [for the upcoming reading at the Wigmore Hall, 14 September 1943], 'I propose to read three poems: "Gerontion", "The Journey of the Magi", and "Marina". That will take about ten minutes. But perhaps it is better not to announce the poems in advance. Unless several of the poems on your list fail you, I think that is too long; and I think it is possible that the Chinese may take longer than expected, and as they are guests of honour they cannot be interrupted. So I shall probably read only two of these three', slight toning to right margin and small spot lower right blank area, punch hole upper left corner, minor creasing, one page, 4to - Quantity (1)

Est: £700 - £1,000
to Mrs [Dorothy] Dudley Short, concerning her intention to organise a poetry recital at the Wigmore Hall, on behalf of the Arts and Letters Sectional Committee of the National Council of Women of Great Britain, for Aid to China, the first letter agreeing with the general principle but saying 'I don't think, however, that the Wigmore Hall is particularly good for poetry readings. It is too big', and concluding later, 'I should be very imprudent if I consented to read my poems without knowing what other authors are to be invited to speak and who are likely to accept', the second weighing up the pros and cons of the Wigmore Hall and the Aeolian Hall and suggesting poets are chosen from a younger generation, 'Those amongst whom I was included at the Aeolian Hall were all poets whose reputations had been made twenty years or more ago. I think there might be more general interest now in a reading drawn from the works of the younger men of whom Stephen Spender, Day Lewis and Louis MacNeice are the available elders', referring to some of the poets she mentions that are not likely to be available, 'Aldous Huxley and W.H. Auden are in America and Harold Monroe has been dead for some years. I do not think that it would be easy to induce Siegfried Sassoon to come up from the country for anything of this kind. You might do best to get in touch with Stephen Spender who, incidentally, has the advantage of taking a sympathetic interest in Chinese affairs', Short's pencil notes at foot of letter, the third letter (not on Faber letterhead) apologising that he has been away on holiday in the New Forest and wanting to clear up some of the details of the readings, with one sentence added in holograph, a little soiled lower left, the fourth letter saying that everything seems satisfactory and hoping that the Chinese Ambassador and Lord David Cecil will accept, suggesting also that it 'seems to me rather a pity to issue a circular of the meeting until you can give them names of all the poets taking part but perhaps there is a special reason for this. As for how long each poet should hold the floor, that depends partly on how many poets there are altogether. When you have got all the poets I think the time should be divided up evenly between them and alphabetical order is probably the least invidious', and concluding 'When the time limit is fixed, people should be asked at least to time themselves conscientiously beforehand so that they will not over-run', Short's pencil notes upper right, all somewhat creased and a little frayed at edges with minor marks, pin holes to upper left corners, each one page, 4to - Quantity (4)
