Thomas Stearns Eliot OM usuallyknown as T. S. Eliot, was an essayist, publisher, playwright, literary andsocial critic, and "one of the twentieth century's major poets". Hewas born in St. Louis, Missouri, to the old Yankee Eliot family descended fromAndrew Eliot, who migrated to Boston, Massachusetts from East Coker, England inthe 1660s. He emigrated to England in 1914 (at age 25), settling, working andmarrying there. He was eventually naturalised as a British subject in 1927 atage 39, renouncing his American citizenship.

Eliot attractedwidespread attention for his poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915),which is seen as a masterpiece of the Modernist movement. It was followed bysome of the best-known poems in the English language, including The Waste Land(1922), The Hollow Men (1925), Ash Wednesday (1930), and Four Quartets (1945).He is also known for his seven plays, particularly Murder in the Cathedral(1935). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948, "for hisoutstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry."
