Eliot Bliss (12 June 1903 – 10 December 1990)〔Bliss's dates of birth and death have been found only in Goodreads and need to be confirmed. (Retrieved 17 September 2015 ).〕 was a Jamaican-born English novelist and poet of Anglo-Irish descent, whose literary friendships encompassed Anna Wickham, Dorothy Richardson, Jean Rhys, Romer Wilson and Vita Sackville-West.〔''The Feminist Companion to Literature in English'', eds Virginia Blain, Patricia Clements and Isobel Grundy (London: Batsford, 1990), p. 106.〕
==Life==
Born Eileen Nora Bliss at a Jamaican army garrison, she was the daughter of Captain John Plomer Bliss and his wife Eva (née Lees).〔 Michele A. Calderaro: "To be sexless, creedless, classless, free. Eliot Bliss: a Creole writer". In: ''Annali di ca' Foscari'', XLII, No. 4, 2003, pp. 109–120. (Retrieved 17 September 2015. )〕 Bliss was educated at a number of British convent schools. Her brother John was sent to school in England at the same time. She returned in 1923 to Jamaica for two years, a period that was to provide inspiration for her second and last novel. She then settled permanently in England and completed a diploma course in journalism at University College, London. In 1925 she renamed herself Eliot as a mark of her respect for George Eliot and T. S. Eliot.〔
Over subsequent years Bliss held various jobs in publishing and established wide friendships with other women writers, notably the fellow novelists Romer Wilson, who gave her financial support while she was writing her first novel, and Vita Sackville-West.〔 Her relations with the Australian-born poet Anna Wickham (1883–1947) are said to have been intimate.〔 McFarlin Library, Eliot Bliss Collections, note by Alison M. Greenlee (Retrieved 17 September 2015 ).〕 She lived as a companion for over half a century with Patricia Allan-Burns, an artist, in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, where she died in 1990. Allan-Burns disposed of her literary remains, the Bliss Collections, in three stages to the McFarlin Library at the University of Tulsa.〔
Bliss left daily diaries in 19 volumes covering the periods January 1959 – December 1960 and January 1963 – August 1980. Prominent authors in her personal library, also held at the McFarlin Library, include Jean Rhys, Radclyffe Hall and Emily Dickinson.〔
