Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in 1888 in St. Louis, Missouri to a wealthy family descended from Puritan settlers. He studied at Harvard, Paris, and Oxford, gaining a cosmopolitan education. In 1925 he married Vivien Haigh-Wood, though she had mental health issues. Eliot is considered one of the most influential modernist poets in English literature, using stream-of-consciousness and other techniques to depict the chaos of modern life. His most famous work, The Waste Land, published in 1922, portrays London as a sterile wasteland expressing postwar depression through symbols of drought and flood. Throughout his life and works, Eliot explored spiritual and societal crisis in the modern world.

T.S. Eliot and Thomas Hardy have similar writing styles. However, Hardy is straight forward, very imaginative, and to the point in his writing. Hardy's cynicism shows human struggles as useless against universal forces, which is a common theme in his literary works. Eliot wanted his poetry to capture the fragile physiological state of humanity disintegrating the twentieth century. Both writers had a vision of post religion society and dealt with mortality.The failure of the works can be seen as a metaphor of cultural pessimism and desolation that can be accredited to literary criticism. Both Eliot and Hardy's admiration for mythological works are filled with references of critical interpretations of text. To enlighten readers, the poet must beware of using excessive academic language and only extract the most important historical pieces of the past into a poem.

In the years following World War One, society was reeling from a dehumanizing realization of the lack of sanctity found in everything previously held dear. The poets of the time analyzed this truth, sought to internalize the feelings of society as a whole, and then reproduce them in works painted with honesty. T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland is perhaps the most heavy-handed in this sense. Eliot goes to great lengths to describe the world around him. He states,
“A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”
By encapsulating the feelings of hopelessness, fear, and despair, Eliot was able to successfully conjure an emotional response from his peers within a universal situation and worldview.
In a similar sense, Thomas Hardy also addresses the hopelessness that accompanies collapse. In Hap, Hardy analyzes the suffering that follows a loss of faith. Hardy blames "casualty" and "time" for unhappiness and attributes suffering not to God, but mere acts of chance. This collapse of faith mirrors the literal historical and emotional collapse mentioned by Eliot.

Thomas Hardy and T.S. Elliot are Victorian style poetry writers whose works were greatly influenced by past conflicts and the state of society in their time periods. These influences gave both these writers consistently similar themes of collapse throughout many of their works. I will discuss works by these authors that are blatantly about collapse and in Thomas hardy’s works that basically state his mission as a writer to expose the ugly things.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. BIOGRAPHY
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St Louis,
Missouri, in 1888. His family was descended from
one of the original Puritan settlers, and his parents
were wealthy and fond of culture. He studied at
Harvard, Paris and Oxford universities, thus giving a
cosmopolitan bent to his education. In 1925 he
married the British ballet dancer Vivien Haigh -Wood,
despite his parents’ worries about her mental
stability. Though an American by birth, his cultural
background was at first English and then European.
In fact, he discovered John Donne and the English
Metaphysical poets; he learned Italian by studying
Dante, whom he devoted one of his most celebrated
essays in 1929. Here Eliot stated Dante was the poet
who best expressed a universal situation and praised
him “clear visual images”, “the lucidity” of his style
3. POETRY STYLE
He use stream-of- consciousness to
show the chaos in of the modern man’s
thinking. In addition, he uses many
techniques such as imagism, repetition,
fragmentation and other modernist
techniques. All these techniques help
depict the modern life for the reader and
reflect its status in real manner. That is
why one can easily say that Eliot is
considered as one of the most influential
modernist poets in English literature.
4. THE WASTE
LAND
Throughout this time Vivien was in poor
health and Eliot was under considerable
emotional strain. He spent some time in a
Swiss sanatorium, in Lausanne, undergoing
psychological treatment and here he
finished “The Waste Land”, dedicated to
Ezra Pound.
Based on various legends, it portrays
London as a sterile, waste land, and
expresses the depression and cynicism of
the postwar period. The poem is built
around several symbols, the most important
of which are drought and flood, representing
death and rebirth. The highly allusive
manner and numerous references make the
poem difficult to understand. It's true
originally lies in its presentation of man’s
spiritual crisis and in its variety of style,
rather than in its literary apparatus. In
writing The Waste Land Eliot was
influenced by Dante, the English
Metaphysical poets and the French
5. LIFE AND WORKS
This poem is more lyrical in spirit, and the style is
relaxed and musical with its repetition and assonance.
Eliot finally decided to separate from his wife, who was
committed to a mental asylum, where she died nine
years later in 1947. Her death, however, created a
terrible sense of guilt within the soul of the poet and
unhappiness led him to write in a letter of his: “I have
always known hell- it is in my bones”. In the Thirties
and Forties, Eliot’s essays became more concerned
society. His growing social concerns led him towards
the theatre, and he became one of the chief exponents
of poetic drama. In 1932 he wrote a fragment,
Sweeney Agonistes, in 1934 a play, The Rock, and in
1935 a modern miracle play, Murder in the Cathedral,
on the well-known conflict between Henry II and
Thomas Becket. The latter play was notable for the
moving speeches of the Chorus in the traditional Greek
manner. The Family Reunion, a modernization of
the story of Orestes was not equally successful.
