| | 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. | | | In the fall of 1911, though, Eliot was as preoccupied with ideas as with literature. |

| | 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). | | | 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). | | | Eliot: The Poems, makes note of the fact that the three Ariel Poems, which includes "Journey of the Magi," should be read in the context of Eliot's baptism and confirmation. |

| | 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. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Eliot, George |
| | Feuerbach, whom Eliot found more congenial, had argued that it was simply a psychological habit of man to refer to the will of god (or the gods) rather than to ascertain the physical and mechanical laws that governed the world. | | | Eliot began gathering material while she wrote and published the simple yet powerful tale of a miserly hermit redeemed for humanity through his loving care for the foundling child, Eppie (Silas Marner, 1861). | | | George Eliot's novels are characterized by close attention to the psychological acuity with which her characters' feelings and mental dilemmas are delineated, and to the detail of interpersonal relationships on the domestic and social level. |

| | But although the Eliot of Notes towards the Definition of Culture (1948) is an older man than the poet of The Waste Land, it should not be forgotten that for Eliot tradition is a living organism comprising past and present in constant mutual interaction. | | | 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. | | | In Ash Wednesday (1930) and the Four Quartets this higher world becomes more visible; nonetheless Eliot has always taken care not to become a «religious poet»;. |

| | GEORGE ELIOT - LoveToKnow Article on GEORGE ELIOT |
| | George Eliot was never orthodox again; she abandoned, with fierce determination, every creed, and although she passed, later, through various phases, she remained incessantly a rationalist in matters of faith and in all other matters. | | | In every one of George Eliots books, the protagonists, tortured by dreams of perfection, are in revolt against the prudent compromises of the worldly. | | | The accumulation of mere book knowledge, as opposed to the friction of a life spent among all sorts and conditions of men, drove George Eliot at last to write as a specialist for specialists: joy was lost in the consuming desire for strict accuracy: her genius became more and more speculative, less and less emotional. |
