Allen & Unwin The Letters of T. S. Eliot Volume 7: 1934-1935 book Biography English 960 pages

The seventh volume in the momentous series of selected letters from T. S. Eliot.

T. S. Eliot's career as a successful stage dramatist gathers pace throughout the fascinating letters of this volume. Even while absorbed in time-consuming theatre work, Eliot was untiring in promoting the writers on Faber's ever broadening lists - George Barker, Marianne Moore and Djuna Barnes among them. Having separated from his wife Vivien in 1933, he is anxious to avoid running into her; but she refuses to comprehend that her husband has chosen to leave her and stalks him across literary society, leading to his place of work at the offices of Faber & Faber.
