[alert-primary] Biography [/alert-primary]
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born on September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri. He spent the first 18 years of his life in St. Louis and went to college at Harvard. In 1910, he left the U.S. for the Sorbonne. He had already gotten his bachelor's and master's degrees and had written a few poems for the Harvard Advocate.
After a year in Paris, he went back to Harvard to get a PhD in philosophy. However, in 1914, he went back to Europe and settled in England. He married Vivienne Haigh-Wood the next year and started working in London, first as a teacher and then for Lloyd's Bank.
Eliot met his contemporary Ezra Pound in London. Pound saw Eliot's talent as a poet right away and helped him get his work published in a number of magazines, most notably "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in Poetry in 1915. Prufrock and Other Observations, his first book of poems, came out in 1917. It made him a leading poet of the avant-garde right away. With the publication of The Waste Land in 1922, which is now considered by many to be the most important poem of the 20th century, Eliot's reputation began to grow to almost mythical levels. By 1930, and for the next thirty years, he was the most important person in poetry and literary criticism in the English-speaking world.
As a poet, he turned his interest in the English metaphysical poets of the 17th century, like John Donne, and the French symbolist poets of the 19th century, like Baudelaire and Laforgue, into radical changes in how poetry was written and what it was about. In many ways, his poems showed how disappointed a younger generation after World War I was with the literary and social norms and values of the Victorian era. As a critic, he had a huge effect on how people thought about literature at the time. After he became an orthodox Christian in the late 1930s, his views became more conservative in both social and religious ways. Ash Wednesday (1930) and Four Quartets (1943) are two of his most important later collections of poetry. His books of literary and social criticism include The Sacred Wood (1920), The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism (1933), After Strange Gods (1934), and Notes Towards the Definition of Culture (1940). (1940). Eliot was also an important playwright. Murder in the Cathedral, The Family Reunion, and The Cocktail Party are all verse dramas that he wrote.
In 1927, he became a British citizen. For a long time, he worked at Faber & Faber, where he published a lot of younger poets and eventually became the director of the company. Eliot split up with his first wife in 1933, and in 1956, he married Valerie Fletcher. His first marriage was known to be very unhappy. The Nobel Prize for Literature was given to T. S. Eliot in 1948. On January 4, 1965, he died in London.
