T.S.Eliot
A Short Introduction
T.S.Eliot - An Introduction
 Thomas Stearns Eliot was a poet, essayist, publisher,
playwright, literary critic and editor.
 Considered one of the 20th century's major poets, he is a
central figure in English-language Modernist poetry.
 He was born on 26 September 1888 and died on 4 January
1965)
 Born in St. Louis, Missouri, to a prominent Boston
Brahmin family, he moved to England in 1914 at the age of
25 and went on to settle, work, and marry there.
 He became a British citizen in 1927 at the age of 39,
subsequently renouncing his American citizenship
 Eliot first attracted widespread attention for his poem "The
Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in 1915, which was received
as a modernist masterpiece.
 It was followed by some of the best-known poems in the
English language, including "The Waste Land" (1922), "The
Hollow Men" (1925), "Ash Wednesday" (1930), and Four
Quartets (1943).
 He was also known for his seven plays, particularly Murder in
the Cathedral (1935) and The Cocktail Party (1949). He was
awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948, "for his
outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry"
 Eliot's childhood infatuation with literature can be ascribed to
several factors.
 From 1898 to 1905, Eliot attended Smith Academy, the boys
college preparatory division of Washington University, where
his studies included Latin, Ancient Greek, French, and German
 He began to write poetry when he was 14 under the influence
of Edward Fitzgerald's translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam.
 Eliot lived in St. Louis, Missouri for the first 16 years
 After working as a philosophy assistant at Harvard from 1909
to 1910, Eliot moved to Paris where, from 1910 to 1911, he
studied philosophy at the Sorbonne.
 He was married to Emily Hale on 26 June 1915
 Eliot worked as a schoolteacher, most notably at Highgate
School in London, where he taught French and Latin
 In 1917, he took a position at Lloyds Bank in London, working
on foreign accounts.
 In 1925 Eliot left Lloyds to become a director in the publishing
firm Faber and Gwyer (later Faber and Faber), where he
remained for the rest of his career.[
 By 1932, Eliot had been contemplating a separation from his
wife for some time.
 On 10 January 1957, at the age of 68, Eliot married Esmé
Valerie Fletcher, who was 30
 Eliot died of emphysema at his home in Kensington in London,
on 4 January 1965
 For a poet of his stature, Eliot produced a relatively small
number of poems
 Eliot first published his poems individually in periodicals or in
small books or pamphlets and then collected them in books.
 He was long a critic and admirer
of Elizabethan and Jacobean verse drama
 A pageant play by Eliot called The Rock was performed in
1934 for the benefit of churches in the Diocese of London
 Eliot also made significant contributions to the field of literary
criticism, and strongly influenced the school of New Criticism.
 In his critical essay "Tradition and the Individual Talent", Eliot
argues that art must be understood not in a vacuum, but in the
context of previous pieces of art.
 The writer Ronald Bush notes that Eliot's early poems like "The
Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", was both unique and
compelling
 S. Eliot influenced many poets, novelists, and songwriters,
like Ezra Pound

his outstanding, pioneer contribution, Drama awards like
Tony Award for Best Play & Music awards
