Thomas Stearns Eliot OM September 26 1888 – January 4 1965 Was An American-Born Poet Dramatist And Literary Critic Whose Works Such As The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock The Waste Land And Four Quartets Are Considered Defining Achievements Of Twentieth Century Modernist Poetry. In 1948 He Won The Nobel Prize For Literature. Eliot Made His Home In London. After The War In The 1920s He Would Spend Time With Other Great Artists In The Montparnasse Quarter In Paris Where He Was Photographed By Man Ray. French Poetry Was A Particularly Strong Influence On Eliot's Work In Particular Charles Baudelaire Whose Clear-Cut Images Of Paris City Life Provided A Model For Eliot's Own Images Of London. He Dabbled Early In The Study Of Sanskrit And Eastern Religions And Was A Student Of G. I. Gurdjieff. Eliot's Work Following His Conversion To Christianity And The Church Of England Is Often Always? Religious In Nature And Also Tries To Preserve Historical English And Broadly European Values That Eliot Thought Important. In 1928 Eliot Summarised His Beliefs Well When He Wrote In The Preface To His Book For Lancelot Andrewes That "The General Point Of View Of The Book's Essays May Be Described As Classicist In Literature Royalist In Politics And Anglo-Catholic In Religion." read less
