it's been almost 20 years since valerie eliot published the first and only volume of t. s. eliot's letters, covering the period 1898-1922; taking us up to (but not including) the publication of "the waste land". and since then—nothing. except, occasionally, she totters out on to the pages of "the times literary supplement" to rebuff the cretinous charge of eliot's anti-semitism. meanwhile i've been stopping here, not doing much, waiting for the second volume. hurry up, old thing.
