Biographical Sketch
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri, to
Charlotte Stearns and Henry Ware Eliot. His parents were from Massachusetts, and
during Eliot’s childhood the family spent summers in Gloucester. Eliot attended
Smith Academy in St. Louis (1898-1905), Milton Academy in Milton, Massachusetts
(1905-1906), Harvard University (B.A., 1909; M.A., 1911; Ph.D. courses in
philosophy, 1911-1914), University of Paris-Sorbonne (1910-1911), and Merton
College, Oxford University (1914-1915). After leaving Oxford in 1915, Eliot remained
in England and married Vivienne Haigh Wood; they were separated in 1932, and she
died in 1947. Eliot worked first as a teacher and then, from 1917 to 1925, as a
clerk at Lloyds Bank in London, at the same time supplementing his income by working
as a reviewer, lecturer, and essayist. He was an assistant editor at
The Egoist (1917-1919) and founded and edited the
literary quarterly The Criterion (1922-1939). Eliot
accepted a position as an editor at publishers Faber and Gwyer (later Faber and
Faber) in 1925 and eventually became a director of the firm. Eliot was baptized into
the Anglican Church and became a naturalized British subject in 1927. In 1957, he
married Valerie Fletcher, his secretary. Eliot died from emphysema in London,
England, on January 4, 1965. His ashes were buried in East Coker, the town from
which his ancestors had immigrated to America.
Eliot, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948, is considered one of the most
influential writers in modern literature. He wrote
The
Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock in 1911, at age twenty-three. Conrad
Aiken, a friend of Eliot’s from Harvard, showed a copy to Ezra Pound, who arranged
for its publication in Poetry magazine and then in
Eliot’s first book, Prufrock and Other Observations
(1917). The Waste Land was completed in 1922, with
editorial suggestions from Pound, and won a $2,000 award from the Dial. Poems 1909-1925
(1925) included The Hollow Men, which bridges
the philosophical despair of his earlier works and the religious themes of his next
poems, Journey of the Magi (1927), A Song for Simeon (1928), Animula (1929), Marina (1930), Triumphal March (1931), and the better-known Ash-Wednesday (1930). Old
Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, light verse composed for his
godchildren, was published in 1939. Eliot’s wartime poetry,
Four Quartets (1943), containing Burnt
Norton, East Coker, The Dry Salvages, and Little Gidding,
was considered by critics and Eliot to be his best work.
Following World War II, Eliot focused on drama and literary essays. He had written
his first play,
Sweeney Agonistes (1932), in the
1920s. Murder in the Cathedral was performed and
published in 1935, and The Family Reunion was
performed and published in 1939. In the 1940s and 1950s Eliot wrote The Cocktail Party (1949), The
Confidential Clerk (1953), and The Elder
Statesman (1958), all comedies. Eliot visited and lectured at numerous
universities throughout his life. He delivered the Clark Lectures at Cambridge in
1926, the Charles Eliot Norton lectures at Harvard University in 1932, the Turnbull
Lectures at Johns Hopkins University and the Page-Barbour Lectures at the University
of Virginia in 1933, and the Theodore Spencer Memorial Lecture at Harvard in 1950;
all of these and other lectures were later published. Eliot’s critical essays, along
with those of I. A. Richards, became the basis of the New Criticism of the twentieth
century.

Scope and Contents
T. S. Eliot materials date from 1905 to 1970 and include handwritten manuscripts,
typescripts, proofs, tearsheets, and correspondence, as well as musical scores,
proofs, exhibition catalogs, a yearbook, memorial service programs, and photographs.
The materials are arranged in four series: I. Works, 1928-1967, undated; II.
Correspondence, 1917-1964, undated; Series III. Personal Material, 1905, 1948, 1965;
and Series IV. Third-Party Works and Correspondence, 1922-1979. This collection was
previously accessible through a card catalog, but has been re-cataloged as part of a
retrospective conversion project.
Eliot’s works are arranged alphabetically. Among notable works are a recording script
of
Ash-Wednesday and typescripts and tearsheets of
broadcasts on John Dryden, James Joyce, Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Tennyson, and Charles
Williams. Also present are typescripts of Cape
Ann, Difficulties of a
Statesman, Five-finger
Exercises, Marina, A Song for
Simeon, Triumphal March, and
Usk, and handwritten manuscripts of Eyes that Last I Saw in Tears and Journey of the Magi.
The Cocktail Party is represented by a typescript and
a bound mimeograph proof copy with handwritten revisions dictated by Eliot to Mary
Trevelyan. The Dry Salvages is represented by a
corrected typescript and a handwritten manuscript of the last eighteen lines. A
corrected typescript of The Elder Statesman is
present, as is a corrected typescript of The Hollow
Men [Part I]. Murder in the Cathedral
materials include a signed acting edition, a prompt copy with corrections and notes
by Ashley Dukes for the first production at the Mercury Theatre, and a printed third
edition with Eliot’s handwritten revisions for the fourth edition. Noctes Binanianæ, which contained anonymous poems by
Eliot, is present as a proof copy with corrections by John Hayward. A handwritten
copy of The Waste Land made by Eliot for an auction
benefiting The London Library contains an extra line not present in its original
publication. Citations to Alexander Sackton’s 1975 bibliography The T. S. Eliot Collection of the University of Texas at Austin
are given in the following folder list where appropriate; Sackton used the
same numbering as Donald Gallup in his T. S. Eliot: A
Bibliography (1969) and added his own numbers where necessary.
Series II. Correspondence is subdivided into Subseries A. Outgoing, 1917-1964,
undated, and Subseries B. Incoming, 1920-1962, undated, and is arranged
alphabetically by correspondent. The outgoing subseries is the larger one; notable
letters include those to Montgomery Belgion, Marion Dorn, Charles Du Bos, Peter Du
Sautoy of Faber and Faber, Ronald Duncan, Rayner Heppenstall, William Turner Levy,
Philip Mairet, Marianne Moore, Thomas Sturge Moore, Henry Sherek, and Virginia
Woolf. Incoming correspondence includes letters from Montgomery Belgion, Eudo C.
Mason, and Henry Sherek. Letters from Thomas Sturge Moore to Eliot have handwritten
drafts of manuscripts by Moore on the back.
Series III., Personal Material, is limited to Eliot’s 1905 school yearbook,
photographs of Eliot and E. McKnight Kauffer, and programs and tickets from the
memorial service held after Eliot’s death.
Series IV. Third-Party Works and Correspondence is subdivided into Subseries A.
Third-Party Works, [1945]-1970, undated, and Subseries B. Third-Party
Correspondence, 1922-1979. Subseries A. Third-Party Works contains works by other
authors, including musical scores by Denis ApIvor and Camillo Togni of works by
Eliot and manuscripts about Eliot by Cyril Connolly and Henry Sherek. A typescript
of
Sebastian (Fragment) by Rayner Heppenstall
contains handwritten notes by Eliot. Notable among third-party correspondence in
Subseries B are letters from Valerie Eliot to Philip Mairet and other individuals,
as well as letters to and from Gilbert Seldes regarding letters and works by Eliot
and other matters.
