📱 eBook en inglés THE LETTERS OF T. S. ELIOT VOLUME 1: 1898-1922

Volume One of the Letters of T. S. Eliot, edited by Valerie Eliot in 1988, covered the period from Eliots childhood in St Louis, Missouri, to the end of 1922, by which time he had settled in England, married and published The Waste Land.

Since 1988, Valerie Eliot has continued to gather materials from collections, libraries and private sources in Britain and America, towards the preparation of subsequent volumes of the Letters edition. Among new letters to have come to light, a good many date from the years 1898-1922, which has necessitated a revised edition of Volume One, taking account of approximately two hundred newly discovered items of correspondence.

The new letters fill crucial gaps in the record, notably enlarging our understanding of the genesis and publication of The WasteLand. Valuable, too, are letters from the earlier and less documented part of Eliots life, which have been supplemented by additional correspondence from family members in America.
