      Note

      THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT was born on September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri. He entered Harvard University in 1906, earning his MA in 1911. After a year at the Sorbonne, in Paris, he returned to Harvard to study for a PhD but left without a degree. Eliot moved to England in 1914; married Vivienne Haigh-Wood, a governess, in 1915 (they separated in 1932, and Eliot remarried in 1957); and taught Latin and French at the Highgate School in London. He later was briefly employed as a clerk with Lloyds Bank.

      From 1917 to 1919, Eliot edited the literary magazine The Egoist: An Individualist Review. In 1922, he founded The Criterion, a quarterly review of literature and philosophy, which he also edited, all the while working as an editor and director for the publisher Faber & Faber. It was in the October 1922 issue of The Criterion that his landmark poem, The Waste Land, appeared in print. Eliot became a British subject in 1927 and was confirmed in the Church of England, his religious beliefs influencing and finding reflection in his later poetry and other writings.

      Eliot achieved eminence as an essayist writing on literary theory and criticism, as well as on social, philosophical, and theological issues, and also had some success as a playwright, with such works as Murder in the Cathedral (1935) and The Cocktail Party (1949). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. T. S. Eliot died at his home in London on January 4, 1965.

      In The Waste Land (1922), his best-known poem and one of the most influential poetic works of the twentieth century, Eliot contrasts the spiritual malaise of the modern world with the wisdom of myth, legend, Eastern religion, the Bible, William Shakespeare, and the quest for the Holy Grail (all referenced in his Notes on ‘The Waste Land,’ which follows the poem). Prufrock (1917) is both the commonly used title of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and the name of the collection of Eliot’s poetry that includes that work and other short poems. Like The Waste Land, Prufrock contains allusions to other literary works, especially those of Dante Alighieri and Shakespeare. Its narrator laments the tentative, ineffectual nature of his existence, querying: "Do I dare / Disturb the universe? . . . Do I dare
