Thomas Stearns Eliot was a poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, literary critic and editor. Considered one of the 20th century's major poets, he is a central figure in English-language Modernist poetry. Eliot first attracted widespread attention for his poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock in 1915, which, at the time of its publication, was considered outlandish. It was followed by The Waste Land (1922), The Hollow Men (1925), Ash Wednesday (1930), and Four Quartets (1943). He was also known for seven plays, particularly Murder in the Cathedral (1935) and The Cocktail Party (1949). He was awarded the 1948 Nobel Prize in Literature, for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry. Contents: The Hollow Men The Waste Land The Love Song of J.
