Scope and Content Information

This collection consists of one letter, T.S. Eliot to The Editor, The Nation. Eliot writes in response to Lionel Trilling's review in the same magazine of Eliot's volume of selections of Rudyard Kipling's verse. Eliot refutes Trilling's charge of anti-semitism against Kipling, suggesting that Kipling disliked Germans, not Jews, and cites as proof a textual example mentioned in Trilling's review.
