| | T. S. Eliot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Eliot's own experiences as an air raid warden in the Blitz, power the poem, and he imagines meeting Dante during the German bombing. | | | Eliot considered Four Quartets his masterpiece, even as critics preferred his earlier work, as it draws upon his knowledge of mysticism and philosophy. | | | William Greenleaf Eliot, Eliot's grandfather, was a Unitarian minister who moved to St. Louis when it was still on the frontier and was instrumental in founding many of the city's institutions including Washington University in St. Louis. |

| | T.S. Eliot's Life and Career |
| | Among his teachers, Eliot was drawn to the forceful moralizing of Irving Babbitt and the stylish skepticism of George Santayana, both of whom reinforced his distaste for the reform-minded, progressive university shaped by Eliot's cousin, Charles William Eliot. | | | A poem suffused with Eliot's horror of life, it was taken over by the postwar generation as a rallying cry for its sense of disillusionment. | | | Eliot (1984), and Lyndall Gordon, Eliot's New Life (1988), are extremely useful, supplemented by smaller specialized studies such as John Soldo, The Tempering of T. Eliot (1983), and by studies in biographical criticism such as Lyndall Gordon, Eliot's Early Years (1977), and Ronald Bush, T. |

| | T.S. Eliot |
| | Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the seventh and youngest child of a distinguished family of New England origin. | | | Eliot's father was a prosperous industrialist and his mother wrote among others a biography of William Greenleaf Eliot. | | | Material for the work Eliot drew from several sources, among them the Grail story, the legend of the Fisher King, Sir James George Frazer's Golden Bough, and Dante's Commedia, but when Dante finally is reunited with Beatrice in 'Heaven', The Waste Land ends ambiguously with a few words of Sanskrit. |

| | Irving Babbitt was an early influence, while the authors of whom Eliot wrote most admiringly include Shakespeare, Dante, the French symbolist poets (Rimbaud, Laforgue, Mallarmé) and the Metaphysicals, especially Donne. | | | Like no poet before him, Eliot was aware of the overbearing influence of the canon: he believed that a "perception not only of the pastness of the past but of its presence" was essential for any writer. | | | A series of letters from TS Eliot in which he discloses himself as a man both haunted and magically tender-hearted are to be auctioned in London. |

| | Island of Freedom - Thomas Stearns Eliot |
| | As a young poet Eliot found inspiration in French Symbolist poetry, particularly the ironic, self-deprecating verse of Jules Laforgue, and in the flexible, colloquial blank verse of the 17th-century metaphysical poets and Jacobean dramatists. | | | Eliot's last major poetic sequence, Four Quartets (1943), which was written in four sections from 1935 to 1942 and which he believed to be his finest achievement, is religious in a very broad sense. | | | Pound regarded Eliot as a truly modern poet who had developed an extraordinarily original idiom that fused tradition and superior learning with the contemporary and colloquial. |

| | Eliot's "Journey of the Magi" was first published in 1927, the same year that "Eliot was received by baptism into the Anglican Church" (Basu 15). | | | According to Bush, Eliot's "Journey of the Magi" is a dramatization of "the period in Eliot's life that followed his official conversion, when his old ways of thinking and feeling seemed irrevocably alien and his new life as a Christian existed more in intention than fact" (127). | | | However, Eliot casts doubt upon the experience by mixing imagery from the "three realms of reference--the fictional frame, the correspondences of Christian typology, and his own deepest and most troublesome feelings" throughout the poem, thereby testing the significance of the experience (128). |

| | T.S. Eliot: Poet and Critic as Historical Theorist |
| | In essence, Thomas Stearns Eliot's theory of history was not concerned with wars or great political events and movements, nor was it a typical Enlightenment theory of progress. | | | Thomas Stearns Eliot, best known for writing "The Waste Land," which literature scholars still study and acknowledge as the poem of the twentieth century, also wrote literary criticism and cultural philosophies. | | | And though Eliot was staunchly conservative in outlook and disposition, his focus on individual perspective made him one of the fathers of post-modem thought. |
