About this Item
Eliot writes in response to Breit, who wishes to publish one of Eliot's lectures in the New York Times Book Review: "I am honored by the suggestion that the New York Times Book Review should publish my Theodore Spencer lecture, but I had already made my arrangements. The lecture will, I think, be published in pamphlet form by the Memorial Committee. But meanwhile they have authorized its serial publication in the Atlantic Monthly." He adds his "best wishes'", and hopes he "may get a glimpse of you on some occasion during [his] brief stay in New York." From the Atlantic (Feb 1951): "Poet, playwright, and publisher T. S. ELIOT delivered at Harvard on November 21 the first Theodore Spencer Lecture in memory of his friend who was a poet, a Shakespearean scholar, and the Boylston Professor. The paper he prepared for the occasion falls into three parts; it is affectionate, calmly objective in its self-criticism, and compelling in the power of its prose." Folds, near fine.
