ELIOT, T. S. (1888-1965). Collected Poems . London: Faber & Faber, 1936. 8°. Original blue cloth (waterstained), pink dust-jacket printed in blue and black (discoloured at backstrip, frayed, with a few tears). FIRST APPEARANCE OF 'BURNT NORTON', inaugurating the sequence that was to become Four Quartets . Gallup A32. PRE-PUBLICATION PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed 'F. S. Flint from T. S. Eliot 31.iii.36.' (Eliot scrupulously observed the difference between books 'from' himself and those signed 'for' those who asked.) The book was published on 2 April. Gallup A32a. IMPORTANT TRIBUTE FROM THE DOMINANT POETIC VOICE OF HIS GENERATION to a poet who had begun publishing earlier than he had, but by this time had ceased writing poetry. Eliot admired Flint's work, and wrote to him before launching The Criterion to ask whether he would contribute translations. Flint became an informal adviser to the journal, and contributed poetry reviews, as well as translation, so indirectly prompting F. R. Leavis's only contribution: a letter of protest.
