THE HYACINTH GIRL: T.S. Eliot's Hidden Muse

While married twice, Eliot had an almost lifelong love for Emily Hale, an American drama teacher to whom he wrote extensive, deeply personal letters. She was the source of "memory and desire" in The Waste Land. She was his hidden muse. That correspondence--some 1,131 letters--shows us in exquisite detail the hidden Eliot. Photos.
