Eliot is called upon to become the epitome of a public figure, engaging in a multitude of activities. He delivers talks, lectures, readings, and broadcasts, even gracing the stage at school prize-day addresses. As the editor and publisher, his relentless dedication shines through, commissioning a diverse range of works, from Michael Roberts' The Modern Mind to Elizabeth Bowen's anthology The Faber Book of Modern Stories. Within these letters, Eliot's genuine affection for close friends like John Hayward, Virginia Woolf, and Polly Tandy, as well as his colleagues Geoffrey Faber and Frank Morley, is evident. Additionally, his growing circle of godchildren receives countless verses that would later be compiled in Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (1939).
The volume encompasses his separation from his first wife, Vivien, and vividly recounts the decision made by her brother, guided by the best medical advice available, to institutionalize her after she was found wandering the streets of London. Throughout this intricate tapestry of correspondence, Eliot grapples with the challenge of finding sufficient time to compose his second play, The Family Reunion (1939), which ultimately reaches its completion in 1938.
