News at Eleven: These two volumes detail [T.S.] Eliot's struggle

to find a career and to shoulder his way into the London literary world, a school of sharks where writers reviewed their friends and publishers reviewed their authors. Most of the early letters were addressed to a small cast: Eliot's parents and his brother, Henry, a businessman who demonstrated striking intelligence and relentless generosity; the local literati; and a few gossipy London hostesses. Among the literary figures, the most impressive were Pound; Virginia Woolf, whose viperish tongue was more lethal than any poison of the Borgias (she found Eliot "peevish, plaintive, egotistical," with a "sepulchral voice"); and Bertrand Russell, infinitely kind even when not trying to bed your wife (it's possible he and Vivien enjoyed a brief fling).
