Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
Consists of an oral history interview of Sally Foss conducted by Joshua Kotin and Susan Stewart in 2020. Foss was a close family friend of Emily Hale (1891-1969) and was present when Hale met T.S. Eliot in 1946. Foss's mother and Hale were longtime friends and childhood classmates at Miss Porter's School, and Hale was both Foss's drama teacher for a period at Concord Academy and an informal mentor. In the interview, Foss talks about Hale's role in suggesting sound changes to Eliot's poems to make them read better aloud. She also talks about Hale's last years at the Concord Inn and about other topics related to Hale.
