What about the memoir ??
[edit]I was looking for more on her (unfinished) memoir on Eliot. Here's some rumor:
"Mary Trevelyan, a notable humanitarian and warden of the Student Movement House in London, wrote an unpublished memoir titled The Pope of Russell Square about her relationship with T.S. Eliot. This memoir chronicles their close friendship, which spanned nearly 20 years, from 1938 until Eliot's second marriage in 1957.
Trevelyan and Eliot shared a deep bond, characterized by churchgoing, conversations, day trips, and Eliot cooking meals for her. Despite her strong feelings for him, Eliot never reciprocated her romantic advances, always maintaining that marriage was impossible for him. The revelation of Eliot's long-term attachment to Emily Hale and his sudden marriage to Valerie Fletcher caused a rupture in their friendship that could not be repaired.
Erica Wagner later edited and expanded Trevelyan's memoir, giving it the title Mary and Mr. Eliot: A Sort of Love Story. This book provides an intimate portrait of their relationship, offering insights into both Trevelyan's and Eliot's lives." 2A02:908:2810:8780:B4A9:F0EC:6969:EAB (talk) 13:39, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
