This fifth volume of the collected letters of poet, playwright, essayist, and literary critic Thomas Stearns Eliot covers the years 1930 through 1931. It was during this period that the acclaimed Americanborn writer earnestly embraced his newly avowed AngloCatholic faith, a decision that earned him the antagonism of friends like Virginia Woolf and Herbert Read. Also evidenced in these correspondences is Eliots growing estrangement from his wife Vivien, with the writers newfound dedication to the Anglican Church exacerbating the unhappiness of an already tormented union.Yet despite his personal trials, this period was one of great literary activity for Eliot. In 1930 he composed the poems AshWednesday and Marina, and published Coriolan and a translation of SaintJohn Perses Anabase the following year. As director at the British publishing house Faber & Faber and editor of The Criterion, he encouraged W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, Louis MacNeice, and Ralph Hogdson, published James Joyces Haveth Childers Everywhere, and turned down a book proposal from Eric Blair, better known by his pen name, George Orwell. Through Eliots correspondences from this time the reader gets a fullbodied view of a great artist at a personal, professional, and spiritual crossroads.
