In his introduction to the surrealist number of This Quarter, Edward Titus wrote: “We shall not speak of the difficulties experienced in putting the material placed at our disposal into English, but we cannot refrain from singling out Mr. Samuel Beckett’s work for special acknowledgement. His rendering of the Éluard and Breton poems in particular is charactizable only in superlatives” (“Editorially: By the Way of Introducing This Surrealist Number,” 5.1 [September 1932] 6).

*Coffey had taken SB's copy of This Quarter 5:1 (September 1932) in which SB's translations of Paul Eluard's poems . . . had appeared (86-98). Reavey was preparing Thorns of Thunder, a collection of Eluard's poems in translation, which included SB's translations already published in This Quarter; Reavey had apparently asked, through Coffey, if SB would prepare more.
