TS Eliot’s intimate letters to confidante unveiled after 60 years

Collection of 1,131 letters may shed light on poet's relationship with Emily Hale

A collection of more than 1,000 letters from the Nobel laureate TS Eliot to his confidante and muse Emily Hale is unveiled this week, after having been kept in sealed boxes at a US university library for 60 years.

The cache promises to offer an intimate insight into the poet's life and work, and on the extent of his relationship with Hale, a source of speculation for decades.
