Valerie Eliot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Valerie Eliot née Esmé Valerie Fletcher (b. January 26, 1926) is the surviving widow and second wife of the Nobel prize winning poet Thomas Stearns Eliot. She married Eliot, thirty-seven years her senior, on January 10, 1957. [1] She is his most important editor and literary executor, having brought to press The Waste Land: Facsimile and Manuscripts of the Original Drafts (1971) and The Letters of T.S. Eliot: Volume 1, 1898-1922 (1989). She also assisted Christopher Ricks with his edition of The Inventions of the March Hare (1996), a volume of Eliot's unpublished verse. A second volume of Eliot's letters, edited by Mrs. Eliot, has been long-delayed, with much speculation but little solid information as to the reason. [2]
She donates the £10,000 annual prize money for the T. S. Eliot Prize.
