Biographical History
T. S. (Thomas Stearns) Eliot (1888-1965) was an essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic and one of the twentieth century's major poets. His poem "East Coker" is the second of his Four Quartets.
Partisan Review was an American political and literary quarterly published from 1934 to 2003. Founded as an alternative to New Masses, the publication of the American Communist Party, it was firmly anti-Communist.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The "East Coker" Typescript consists of a typed copy of T. S. Eliot's poem, hand-bound in scrap paper. At the bottom of the title page is typed "Partisan Review, May-June 1940." Eliot's poem was indeed published in that issue of Partisan Review, but the origins of this typescript are unknown.
