Vivienne Haigh-Wood and Tom Eliot met in England when Eliot was studying at Oxford. Just three months after meeting, the two married, and so began one of the most tempestuous marriages in history. Vivienne is described in one of two lights: the femme fatale who led Tom down a depressive path, and the muse without whom Eliot’ s career would not exist. It may have been a little bit of both.
