Autograph Manuscript of Life Poetry and Democracy with letters to Dr Erich Alport from TS Eliot, Spender and others

An interesting collection of letters discussing German writers whose work might be suitable for publication by Faber and Faber. Eliot was clearly in favour of promoting German writers; Geoffrey Faber is very revealing on reading tastes and publishing difficulties in England in the 1920s and 30s
