[Rarebooks] FS: T. S. Eliot SIGNED Letter Declining to have his poems published by the Folio Society

[Charles Agvent]

ELIOT, T. S. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS). London, 20 December 1951. 
One-page single-spaced letter on Faber & Faber stationery SIGNED by the 
poet. Addressed to Charles Ede of The Folio Society Limited thanking him 
for suggesting a special edition of some of Eliot's poems. "But the 
copyright in my work is controlled by Messrs. Faber & Faber Limited, and 
my Board see no reason why they should licence any other editions than 
those which they are prepared to undertake themselves." Eliot joined the 
publishing firm of Faber and Faber in 1925 and remained there for the 
rest of his life, becoming a director. The Folio Society published an 
edition of THE FOUR QUARTETS in 1968, three years after Eliot's death. 
Two holes punched in left margin, ink stamp in upper right. About Fine.
