“Founded in 1980, the Society is an international association of persons interested in the art and thought of T. S. Eliot. Our annual meeting is held in St. Louis, the city of Eliot's birth, on the weekend closest to his September 26th birthday. Among other activities, the meeting features the T. S. Eliot Memorial Lecture, given by an eminent scholar or poet.”

“The T S Eliot Society (UK) was founded in 2006. The Society exists to: promote the study and appreciation of Eliot’s work; promote events celebrating Eliot’s work; produce a regular newsletter, Exchanges; help to arrange the annual TS Eliot Festival at Little Gidding; sustain at Ferrar House, Little Gidding, a facility in which ordinary Eliot enthusiasts can immerse themselves, study, or research and write on Eliot-inspired matters, using the Society’s archive held there; facilitate local meetings of Society members and their friends in other centres of population across the UK; collaborate with Eliot appreciation societies in other countries. The Society promotes the Annual TS Eliot Cambridge Lecture, and produces an annual Journal.”

T. S. ELIOT: A Major New Research Project

http://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/about-us/news/t-s-eliot-major-new-research-project

 “The Estate of T. S. Eliot, Faber & Faber, and the Institute of English Studies, University of London, are delighted to announce the commencement of the T. S. Eliot Research Project (1 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 first parts of this comprehensive series to appear will be two volumes of the Letters, co-edited by Valerie Eliot and Hugh Haughton. The new edition of volume 1, up to the end of 1922, will benefit from more than 20 years of new discoveries and scholarship, and volume 2 will take 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.”
