WELCOME FROM THE SUMMER SCHOOL DIRECTOR

Welcome to the third annual T. S. Eliot International Summer School, organised with the gracious support of Mrs Valerie Eliot and the Estate of T.S. Eliot and hosted by the Institute of English Studies, University of London. The School invites students of all nations to study in London and other locales the life and writings of a poet and revered nobel Laureate whose works were translated into thirtyeight languages during his lifetime. It seeks to bring the best scholars of Eliot and modern literature together each year to lecture, conduct seminars, exchange ideas, encourage projects, offer direction and engage in informal conversation with students at the beginning of a new era in Eliot studies. While the School aims to maintain the highest level of intellectual and critical inquiry, it is far from being the reserve of academia. It welcomes participants from non-academic backgroundsprofessionals, business people, and citizens of literature from every vocation who take delight in joining with students, faculty and the wide community of Eliot readers for an exhilarating cultural experience. The inauguration of the School in 2009 coincided with the launching by the Eliot Estate of a major editorial project (see page 18), supported by a research grant from the arts and Humanities research council, which will see the publication of new editions of Eliots poetry, prose, drama and letters in the coming five years. The project coincides with a growing resurgence of interest in Eliots work and the increasing accessibility of previously restricted materials that will provide exceptional research opportunities for a new generation of students who want to study Eliot and modernism. Both the School and the editorial project are generously housed in a distinguished academic home which fosters the study of modern literature. The Institute of English Studies is located in Senate House in the heart of bloomsbury and adjacent to 24 Russell Square, the former offices of Faber & Faber, where Eliot conducted his life as poet, editor and publisher for forty years. We now look forward to a long and influential future, and to those summers when some of our students begin to return as distinguished lecturers and tutors of the T. S. Eliot International Summer School. Director: Ronald Schuchard Executive Director: Wim Van Mierlo

THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

At the beginning of the nineteenth century the lack of a university in the capital led a group of distinguished men, under the leadership of Thomas Campbell and Lord Brougham, to found in 1826 an institution on the Bloomsbury site now occupied by University College; it was hoped that this institution would become the University of London. At about the same time, another group led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Peel, and the Duke of Wellington set up a rival university in the Strand Kings College which began recruiting students in 1831. The University of London received its charter in 1836 and soon attracted other institutions to join (these included institutions of higher learning in Nottingham and Ghana). Today, the Universitys colleges (excluding medical schools) are: Birkbeck, University of London, The Central School of Speech and Drama, The Courtauld Institute of Art, Goldsmiths, University of London, Heythrop College, The Institute of Cancer Research, Institute of Education, Kings College London, London Business School, The London School of Economics and Political Science, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Queen Mary, University of London, Royal Academy of Music, Royal Holloway, University of London, The Royal Veterinary College, St Georges, University of London, The School of Oriental and African Studies, The School of Pharmacy, UCL, School of Advanced Study, University of London Institute in Paris, University of London International Programmes (Distance Learning), University Marine Biological Station, Millport.

SCHOOL OF ADVANCED STUDY

The School of Advanced Study unites ten specialist humanities and social science research Institutes at the centre of the University of London. Located in Bloomsbury the School has strong links with the Colleges of the University and with the wider national and international research community in reach of its disciplines. The School and Institutes run a varied programme of seminars, conferences, lectures, workshops, and research training events. The combined collections of the Institute libraries and the Senate House Library form the Senate House Libraries: University of London services. The School has a unique atmosphere of both specialised scholarly study and interdisciplinary collegiality. There are approximately 300 Masters and Research students in the School who, with staff and researchers, form a friendly and lively academic community.

INSTITUTE OF ENGLISH STUDIES

The Institute came into being on 1 January 1999 and, as with the other nine Institutes, it fully participates in the national research facilitation remit of the School of Advanced Study. It also facilitates advanced study and research in English Studies within the University of London as well as in the wider academic community, national and international, providing for academic discussion and the exchange of knowledge and ideas through its programme of research seminars, conferences, endowed lectures and readings, publications and visiting fellowships. Five post-doctoral research programmes are currently hosted by the Institute through its Centre for Manuscript and Print Studies which also functions as a cross-sectoral partnership of nine institutions. The Institute offers an MA programme in the History of the Book (the first in the English-speaking world), MPhil and PhD supervision in a range of specialist subjects, and hosts the AHRC National Research Training Scheme in English Language and Literature, Palaeography and the History of the Book. The full range of the Institutes activities may be found at http://ies.sas.ac.uk/.

T.S. Eliot International Summer School - Student Handbook 2011

The Institutes activities therefore attract those interested in the English language and its literatures, in the History of the Book, Palaeography, Manuscript Studies, and in cognate fields of study. Its approach is interdisciplinary, and it also co-ordinates a substantial amount of inter-Institute activity within the School of Advanced Study. The Research Seminar programme currently features some eighteen established groups including: Enlightenment and Romanticism, Early Modern Philosophy and the Scientific Imagination, Irish Studies, the London Old and Middle English Research Seminar (LOMERS), London Modernism Seminar, Medieval Manuscripts, London Nineteenth-Century Studies Seminar, Inter-University Postcolonial Research Group Seminar, the London Shakespeare Seminar, the London Theatre Seminar, the Literary and Critical Theory Seminar, the London Forum for Authorship Studies, Medieval Palaeography Workshops, the MSS: Modern Manuscript Studies Seminar, Readers and Reading: Seminars in Book History and Bibliography, The London/Oxford Seminar in Classical Translation and the London Finnegans Wake Seminar. Methods and Resources Seminars are open to all postgraduates to assist and inform postgraduate study techniques, and some of the research seminars listed above also have special sessions devoted to postgraduate training. The national and international role of the Institute extends to an ambitious programme of conferences and symposia, include conferences held alternately at the Institute and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas, Austin. Major events have included the 3rd International Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary English in 2009, an international conference on the history of reading in 2008, the 8th International European Society for the Study of English Conference in 2006, attracting 650 people from 46 countries; Back to Bloomsbury, the 14th Annual Conference on Virgina Woolf (2004); the 2002 International Conference of SHARP, the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing. In 2011, the Institute will host the 24th Ezra Pound International Conference. Up to 20 conferences each year are mounted, some of which are organised collaboratively with Institutes of the School and with a growing number of academic institutions and specialist societies within the UK and overseas.. From its Conference and Research Seminars the Institute has developed an active publishing programme with commercial publishers (e.g. Palgrave Macmillan), with which the Institute has published such volumes as: Writing the Lives ofWriters (1998), Womens Poetry in the Enlightenment:The Making of a Canon 1730-1820, Late Romantic to LateVictorian: Gender and Genre 1830-1900 (1998), The Holocaust and the Text: Speaking the Unspeakable (1999), Marvell and Liberty (1999), Female Communities 1600-1800 (2000), The Art of Detective Fiction (2000), Political and Social Issues in BritishWomens Fiction 1928-1968 (2001), Print in Transition 1850-1910: Studies in Media and Book History (2001), Macmillan: a Publishing Tradition (2002), Plagiarism in Early Modern England (2002), The Culture of Collected Editions (2003), Discourses of Slavery and Abolition: Britain and its Colonies, 1760-1838 (2004), Victorian Shakespeare (2004), and George Gissing and the City: Cultural Crisis and the Making of Books in Late-Victorian England (2005), BooksWithout Borders (2Volume Pack)Volumes 1 and 2:The Cross-National Dimension in Print Culture/Perspectives from South Asia (2009). There are currently a number of further volumes in preparation. Departments of English within the University of London and certain other Universities (including Kingston, Middlesex, Surrey, Roehampton and the Open University) pay for block membership of the Institute for their staff and postgraduate students. Individual membership is also available, as is overseas membership for affiliating Departments. A significant proportion of those attending the Institutes research seminars and conferences are scholars based outside London and outside the UK. All members are entitled to attend research seminars without charge and conferences at the concessionary rate, and

to use the Common Room on the third floor of Senate House. The Institute has developed close links (for both scholars and postgraduates) with the great metropolitan and national research collections. The British Library, the University of Reading, the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum, the National Archives, the St Bride Library, the Menzies Centre at Kings College London, and Lambeth Palace Library are involved in the Institutes MA programmes, as are members of the English Departments in the Colleges of the University. Through close links with the British Council, and a growing network of contacts in foreign universities, the Institute has developed its (non-stipendiary) Visiting Research Fellowship Scheme, by which scholars are invited to spend periods of time in London affiliated to the Institute, contributing seminars on their current research, and participating in the life of the Institute.

DAILY AFTERNOON SEMINARS

11-15 JULY 2011 13.30-15.00

i. Eliot the Philosopher, Eliot the Poet (Daniel Albright) We will look at a number of poems, spanning Eliots career, including Portrait of a Lady, The Death of St. Narcissus, The Waste Land, The Hollow Men, The Dry Salvages, and A Dedication to My Wife; also from Selected Essays the essay on Dante (1929), some choruses from Murder in the Cathedral, and perhaps some excerpts from his dissertation on Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F. H. Bradley. We will see what philosophy we can infer from the texts of the poems before talking about his formal philosophical ideas. ii. The Making of The Waste Land (Wim Van Mierlo) This seminar looks at the composition, publication and reception of T. S. Eliots magisterial poem. The aim is to probe the creative dynamics that lie at the basis of the poem in order to understand how it came into beingand what made it so great in the first place. Poring over the (facsimile) manuscripts and typescripts, we will look into the poets workshop to probe the creative beginnings, gauge Ezra Pounds interventions, analyze Eliots methods, and assess the poems own internal aesthetic engine. We will also consider TheWaste Lands first publication and its early critical and readerly responses in order to ascertain how these activities might have shaped our own perceptions. iii. Eliot Among the Women: Male-Female Relations in Eliots Verse (Jewel Spears Brooker) This seminar will consist of a reading of selected poems and two plays by T. S. Eliot, with focus on culture, violence, and desire in the relations between the sexes. In addition to the following we will read a few of Eliots letters (Letters, vols 1, 2), and a few essays (Beyle and Balzac, Baudelaire). The seminar will be organized over five sessions, as follows: (1) Culture and Desire in the Drawing Room (Prufrock and Portrait of a Lady). (2) Violence and Desire in Brothels and Bars (Preludes, Sweeney poems). (3) Marriage and Despair in Boudoirs and Pubs (A Game of Chess, The Fire Sermon). (4) Murder and Desire (Sweeney Agonistes); Murder and Madness (The Family Reunion). (5) Marriage: Making Do (The Cocktail Party). Optional reading: Jewel Spears Brooker and Joseph Bentley, Reading TheWaste Land (available in paperback), chapters on A Game of Chess and The Fire Sermon; Essays (as interest directs) in Gender, Sexuality, and Desire in T. S. Eliot, ed. Cassandra Laity and Nancy Gish. iv. Eliot and Pound: Instigation and Divergence, 1917-1924 (Michael Coyle) The collaboration between Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot was perhaps the most influential of the Modernist era, and perhaps of the 20th century. What began as Pounds mentorship of an unknown American quickly became a stimulus that worked both ways. Pounds editorial work on TheWaste Land is justly famous, but that work itself was already informed by a sometimes forgotten project the two poets undertook together in 1917: poems in the satirical quatrains of Thophile Gautier that might serve as a corrective to the excesses of Imagism-excesses that they had helped unleash. Whats more, Eliots drafts for TheWaste Land caused Pound to abandon his early work on the Cantos and virtually to rein12

T.S. Eliot International Summer School - Student Handbook 2011

vent his sense of how a genuinely modern poetry should work. This seminar will examine the crucial stage of Pounds and Eliots interaction-1917-1924, focusing on the interplay between their ultimately divergent poetics. Meeting 1: Pounds Hugh Selwyn Mauberley and Quia Pauper Amavi (1919); Meeting 2: Eliots Gerontion and AraVos Prec / Poems 1920; Meeting 3: TheWaste Land (1922); Meeting 4: The Waste Land Facsimile; Pounds revisions; Meeting 5: Pound, Canto IV (1924). Texts (used copies available online @ Amazon.com, etc.): Eliot, an edition of Complete Poems or Collected Poems; The Waste Land: A Facsimile and Transcript, ed. Valerie Eliot (paper); Pound, Personae: the Shorter Poems, ed. Lea Baechler and A. Walton Litz (paper), or The Library of America Ezra Pound; Canto IV (copies provided for those without a copy of Cantos). v. Aspects of Eliots Auditory Imagination (Robert Crawford) Topics will include Rhyme and Echo, Lineation, and the way Eliot ends poems. The focus will be on the finished poems rather than on drafts. Daily seminars will be exploratory, and among the poems considered will be The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, Portrait of a Lady, The Boston Evening Transcript, Gerontion, The Waste Land, Ash-Wednesday, Marina, and Burnt Norton. Prose texts drawn on will include The Metaphysical Poets, Dante, The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism, and The Music of Poetry. Relevant prose not in Frank Kermodes Selected Prose of Eliot will be available as handouts. vi. French Influences on Eliots Poetry and Criticism (William Marx) I had the idea of giving up English and trying to settle down and scrape along in Paris and gradually write French. So said Eliot of the romantic year he spent in Paris after Harvard in 1910-11. The project of this seminar is to explore the French background behind Eliots poetry and criticism, for it is impossible to fully understand Eliots work without acknowledging the French influences which have informed it at such a deep level. In meeting some towering figures of Eliots mental landscape (Charles Baudelaire, Remy the perfect critic de Gourmont, and Paul Valry, and some others) in comparing French poems (in translation) with Eliots, we will see how some of the most fascinating features of Eliotian poetry and criticism have strong parallels or even their origin in the poets extensive French readings. No knowledge of French is needed. Texts: Eliot, Complete Poems and Plays or Collected Poems 1909-1962; PoemsWritten in EarlyYouth. Anthology: The Penguin Book of French Poetry 1820-1950. Bilingual edition, trans. William Rees (London: Penguin Classics), especially Nerval, Gautier, Baudelaire, Mallarm, Verlaine, Corbire, Rimbaud, Laforgue, Verhaeren, Valry, Apollinaire, Cendrars, Saint-John Perse.

vii. Eliots Experiments with Poetic Form: Prufrock to Four Quartets (Timothy Materer) An introductory survey of Eliots major poems, with a focus on poetic form. Like James Joyce, T. S. Eliot did not like to repeat himself as an artist. Dramatic monologues in free verse, such as Prufrock and Gerontion, were followed by poems in rhymed quatrains, such as Sweeney among the Nightingales. TheWaste Land revolutionized modern poetry, and the manuscripts of the poem help us appreciate the experimentation with form that went into it. In the ritualistic rhythms of The Hollow Men and Ash-Wednesday, Eliot continued to explore new emotional territory. Four Quartets was his last great exploration of musical form. viii. Later Poetry and Criticism : Ash-Wednesday to Four Quartets (Ronald Schuchard) This seminar will begin with a study of Ash-Wednesday and the Landscapes poems, showing how they grow out of intense personal experience and lead into the Four Quartets. We will then devote a seminar to each of the quartets and discuss them in relation to critical essays that bear upon them: What Is Minor Poetry?, The Music of Poetry, The Three Voices of Poetry,, What Dante Means to Me, Yeats, and To Criticize the Critic. Recommended: Schuchard, Eliots Dark Angel (chapters on AshWednesday and Little Gidding)

STUDENTS WISHING TO TAKE CREDIT AT THEIR HOME INSTITUTION

While the school will provide certificates of attendance for all who require them, it cannot offer academic credit. However, if students have enrolled in an independent study course with a supervisor in their home institutions, the academic programme of the School may request a seminar leader to provide written evaluation of student participation and performance to the home institution. Students should, in the first instance, notify the Summer School Administrator of their intent.

THE T. S. ELIOT EDITORIAL PROJECT

The Estate of T. S. Eliot, Faber & Faber, and the Institute of English Studies, University of London, announced the commencement of the T. S. Eliot research Project in March 2009. With three years of funding from the arts and Humanities research council (AHRC) and the T. S. Eliot Estate, the Project will co-ordinate, for the first time, the editing of the poetry, plays, prose and correspondence of perhaps the most influential writer of the twentieth century. The Principal Investigator is Professor John Haffenden, FBA (School of English, University of Sheffield, and a Senior research Fellow of the Institute of English Studies, University of London). Since Eliots death in 1965 much of his prose has fallen out of print, while remarkable numbers of essays, lectures, introductions, reviews, and contributions to debates as varied as literature, religion, politics, education, publishing and cultural commentary, have never been collected despite international interest in a complete and annotated edition of his works. While scholarly editions of some of Eliots poems have been issued notably Inventions of the March Hare (1996) most of the poetry has yet to be edited to the standards expected by scholar, student and general reader. The same holds true for the plays. This Project brings together the work of a dedicated team of editors, co-ordinated by the Institute of English Studies, University of London, with the aim of delivering the volumes as soon as possible. The editions will correspond in terms of presentation, apparatus and supplementary materials. In addition, editors will have unprecedented access to the archival resources (both the library and a wealth of papers) owned by Mrs Valerie Eliot and Faber & Faber Ltd., and to Professor Ronald Schuchards digital database (at Emory University) of the prose writings. They will also be using materials in T.S. Eliot collections, public and private, across the world. With the commitment and support of both the Estate and Faber, this will ensure that eight volumes will be delivered for publication by the year 2014, with the Complete Plays (edited by John Haffenden) to appear the same year. All are being edited or co-edited by scholars in the UK and US. The Complete Poems in two volumes is being edited by Professor Sir Christopher Ricks FBA (Boston University) and Jim Mccue (IES). Two of the eight volumes of The Complete Prose (General Editor Ronald Schuchard, Emory University) are being co-edited by Jason Harding (durham, and Visiting research Fellow, IES) and Iman Javadi (IES). These volumes will contain Eliots literary and cultural writings of the 1930s and 1940s, including The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism, After Strange Gods, Notes Towards the Definition of Culture, and other collections, together with a wealth of unpublished or uncollected prose of the period: essays, lectures, addresses, reviews, commentaries from his journal The Criterion, and letters to the press. other volumes in the series are being co-edited by other scholars coming to the Summer School, including Professors Jewel Spears Brooker, David Chinitz, and Iman Javadi. The first parts of this comprehensive series to appear were two volumes of the Letters, co-edited by Valerie Eliot and Hugh Haughton, published in november 2009. The new edition of volume 1, up to the end of 1922, benefited from more than 20 years of new discoveries and scholarship, and volume 2 takes the story up to the end of 1925, the year Eliot joined Faber. Volume 3, edited by the General Editor of the series, John Haffenden, will cover the years 1926-1928.

The outcome of this combined enterprise will be authoritative, accurate and co-ordinated editions of the poetry, plays, prose and letters. At long last, readers will be able to see Eliot whole. Including scores of unrecorded and unpublished pieces in verse and prose, it will facilitate a thorough critical assessment, place his writings in new relations to one another, and facilitate the fullest appreciation of Eliots genius. The Institutes director, Professor Warwick Gould, said The mission of the Institutes of the School of advanced Study is to promote research. Funding for large-scale international research collaboration is never easy to co-ordinate, and in this case the AHRC and the Eliot Estate have responded magnificently to transatlantic funding from the Hodson Trust, Johns Hopkins and Emory Universities, and help from the Harry Ransom Humanities research center in Texas. The IESs T. S. Eliot International Summer School will provide research training for the new generation of Eliot scholars who will use these new editions. Professor John Haffenden, Principal Investigator of the Project, comments: This is to be one of the major editorial enterprises of our time. General readers and scholars alike have been eager for many years to read a textually definitive and exactly edited set of T. S. Eliots works, including all of the poetry and the plays, as well as the many and wonderfully varied writings in prose (essays, reviews, commentaries, lectures and talks). T. S. Eliot is one of the key literary figures of the twentieth century, and the opportunity now provided by the Eliot Estate and Faber & Faber, and so generously funded by the AHRC, means that we can bring these eagerlyawaited volumes to completion within the forseeable future. On behalf of the Estate of T.S. Eliot, Faber & Faber comments: It is tremendously encouraging to have such support for the publishing plans that Faber and Estate have for the entire works of T. S. Eliot. This project lies at the heart of Fabers past, present and future. NOTE: The Arts & Humanities Research Council Each year the aHrc provides approximately 100 million from the Government to support research and postgraduate study in the arts and humanities, from languages and law, archaeology and English literature to design and creative and performing arts. In any one year, the AHRC makes approximately 700 research awards and around 1,000 postgraduate awards. Awards are made after a rigorous peer review process, to ensure that only applications of the highest quality are funded. Arts and humanities researchers constitute nearly a quarter of all research-active staff in the higher education sector. The quality and range of research supported by this investment of public funds not only provides social and cultural benefits but also contributes to the economic success of the UK.

SAS-SPACE E-REPOSITORY SAS-Space is an online library for humanities research outputs, providing a permanent archive for scholars and researchers. STUDENT WELFARE Accommodation LRBS participants will need to make their own arrangements for accommodation where necessary. A list of suggestions is available from the IES website. It may be possible to find a room in one of the University of Londons Intercollegiate Halls of Residence. A list of the Halls and further information on how to apply is available at http://www.halls.london.ac.uk/ In all cases, students will need to arrange accommodation directly. Personal Safety London is one of the most interesting and vibrant capital cities in the world; it is also one of the safest. However, as in any large, busy city, crime is a problem so you do need to take care about personal safety and looking after your belongings. Being so centrally located, the area surrounding the University of London is susceptible to crime and in particular suffers from a disproportionately high level of rough sleepers, beggars and drug misusers/dealers. Please see Personal Safety a Quick Guide on the website, which gives useful advice and tips on how to stay safe. University of London Students Union (ULU) The Union provides a wide range of social and catering facilities. Most of the facilities are based at the Unions buildings at Malet Street (tel: 020 7664 2000 or visit the website at www.ulu.co.uk). Facilities include bars, shops, games rooms, printing, photocopying, faxing, meeting and television rooms, advice centres (careers and housing), a weekly book market, minibus and launderette.
