T. S. Eliot and Annotation
Event type: Short Course
Address: Room G7, Ground Floor, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU
Event date and time: 16 January 2024, 10:30AM - 5:00PM
Participants of this one-day session will attend to the practices of scholarly annotation in the context of Eliot’s poetry and criticism. The session will combine discussions of Eliot’s own thoughts about criticism and annotation with reflections on the practices and theories used by contemporary editors to annotate his work. Drawing on the new editions of his poems, prose, and letters (both in print and digital), we will pose questions about the purposes and uses of annotation, and about how contemporary scholarship aligns with and departs from modernist answers to these questions.
