Eliot (1888-1965) An Outline of American Literature: by Kathryn VanSpanckeren Modernism and Experimentation: Authors: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) Index Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to a well- to-do family with roots in the northeastern United States. He received the best education of any major American writer of his generation at Harvard College, the Sorbonne, and Merton College of Oxford University. He studied Sanskrit and Oriental philosophy, which influenced his poetry. Like his friend Pound, he went to England early and became a towering figure in the literary world there. One of the most respected poets of his day, his modernist, seemingly illogical or abstract iconoclastic poetry had revolutionary impact. He also wrote influential essays and dramas, and championed the importance of literary and social traditions for the modern poet. As a critic, Eliot is best remembered for his formulation of the "objective correlative," which he described, in The Sacred Wood , as a means of expressing emotion through "a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events" that would be the "formula" of that particular emotion. Poems such as "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1915) embody this approach, when the ineffectual, elderly Prufrock thinks to himself that he has "measured out his life in coffee spoons," using coffee spoons to reflect a humdrum existence and a wasted lifetime.

Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, of an old New England family. He was educated at Harvard and did graduate work in philosophy at the Sorbonne, Harvard, and Merton College, Oxford Eliot has been one of the most daring innovators of twentieth-century poetry. Never compromising either with the public or indeed with language itself, he has followed his belief that poetry should aim at a representation of the complexities of modern civilization in language and that such representation necessarily leads to difficult poetry. Despite this difficulty his influence on modern poetic diction has been immense. Eliot's poetry from Prufrock (1917) to the Four Quartets (1943) reflects the development of a Christian writer: the early work, especially The Waste Land (1922), is essentially negative, the expression of that horror from which the search for a higher world arises. In Ash Wednesday (1930) and the Four Quartets Murder in the Cathedral (1935) and The Family Reunion (1939) are more openly Christian apologies. In his essays, especially the later ones, Eliot advocates a traditionalism in religion, society, and literature that seems at odds with his pioneer activity as a poet. But although the Eliot of

Reproduced by permission of CORBIS/Bettmann. One of the most influential poets of all time, considered "the" modernist poet of the twentieth century, Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1888. His parents, Henry Ware and Charlotte Stearns Eliot, were transplanted Northeasterners whose roots could be traced back to the earliest New England families. Harvard Advocate . It was at Harvard that Eliot first began the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", that would establish his position as the preeminent modernist poet of the post-World War I period. After a year in Paris studying at the Sorbonne (1910-1911), Eliot returned to Harvard to begin his doctoral work in philosophy. Upon completion of his dissertation, a treatment of the philosopher Francis Herbert Bradley, Eliot returned to Europe, traveling in Germany and later taking up residence in Oxford, England. The outbreak of World War I prevented him from returning to the United States. Eliot spent the rest of his career in England, becoming an English citizen in 1927. In 1915 Eliot married Vivienne Haigh-Wood and together they moved to London. From 1915 to 1922 Eliot worked at various jobs including teacher, bank clerk and book reviewer, all the while publishing reviews and essays in various publications including the

T. S. Eliot [¤U¤@­¶] If one figure had to be named as the pivotal leader among writers in English during the first half of the twentieth century, it would be Thomas Steams Eliot. Not only was he a great poet, a great critic, a fine playwright, and a far-reaching influence on others, but he sought to become the conscience of his generation, deliberately fitting himself for this role, which he summed up in a celebrated phrase when he defined his beliefs as "classicist in literature, royalist in politics, and Anglo-Catholic in religion." When Eliot began to publish verse at the age of twenty-six, his first few readers were generally shocked by what they took to be a dry, overclever, revolutionary use of language and syntax. Fifty years later, when his name was surrounded by an air of majesty unique in his time, chat same verse still had a contemporary ring to it. Today he seems representative of an age in which many people, feeling themselves barren because of their doubt, searched for an experience of faith. Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, attended Harvard University, and subsequently the Sorbonne in Paris and Oxford University in England. World War I caught him in England, where he worked for a time in Lloyd's Bank, married, and finally settled for good. In the 1920s he joined the London publishing house that later became Faber and Faber, and in 1927 he became a British subject. In the years following, he avoided publicity and deliberately cultivated a shy aloofness, lightened by an almost youthful sense of humor.

T. S. Eliot [¤W¤@­¶] These poems were published in 1943 and conclude his major work as a poet with a new serenity of outlook. In the latter part of his life, Eliot turned more and more to playwriting and to the writing of essays and books discussing social and religious themes, notably Notes Toward a Definition of Culture and The Aims of Education. It was his aim to revitalize poetic drama, lo write plays that would seem perfectly natural to audiences although the characters were speaking poetry. One of his modern plays. The Cocktail Party, had a long run in both London and New York. but his earlier play. Murder in the Cathedral, is closest to traditional poetic drama. As a poet, Eliot is above all an intellectual, one who has put much hard thinking into his verse and who demands an equal amount of thought from the reader. He can encompass poignant feeling when he chooses, but his habitual choice is to establish an exact equation between feeling and thought. Some of his poems are difficult because the links between the ideas have been suppressed. Consequently, the reader must study these poems carefully to piece together into a logical sequence the seemingly isolated statements. Eliot may be said to have changed the direction of modern writing more sharply than did any of his contemporaries. He changed it in the direction of precision and complexity, and of wide-ranging reference, so that all of history is brought into his poetry. And he moved it toward deep but highly controlled emotionemotion, as some of his poems imply, that is much too serious to be stated in consciously "poetic" language. In 1948 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature.
