T. S. Eliot, the poet and critic, recorded his own poem 'Burnt Norton' (1936) for His Master's Voice. This is a literary historical document: Eliot reading one of his major modernist works. HMV C3598 is from the late 1930s. Spoken-word poetry recordings by major literary figures are uncommon, and this is historically significant.
