Printed Matter, 1936-1965 and undated

 Series 4

This series consists of printed material, including a broadside; clippings; an illustration; interviews; a musical score; playbills; a press release; programs; and serials, all of which relate to Eliot or his work.

The Broadside is a limited edition of "Cat Morgan's Apology."

The Clippings include four clippings whose subject is Eliot's marriage to Valerie Fletcher, one article on the production of his play The Elder Statesman, a memorial service address given by Eliot for William Collin Brooks, a review of Eliot's play The Cocktail Party, and an article "T.S. Eliot's London."

The Illustration depicts Eliot and is from the serial Punch.

The Musical Score is Eliot's Anthem (The Dove Descending Breaks the Air) with music by Igor Stravinsky.

The Playbills are from productions of Eliot's plays performed mainly in the 1950s and in various theaters in Great Britain, the United States, and Germany.

The Press Release is for Eliot's Religious Drama: Mediaeval and Modern.

There are seven Programs. Two of the programs are for memorial services on the death of Eliot, three are for literary events, one for the awarding of the Hanseatic Goethe-Prize in 1954 to Eliot, and one for the 1948 Nobel Peach Prize.

Within these categories, the items are arranged alphabetically by title.
