T. S. Eliot
Thomas Stearns Eliot OM (26 September 1888 – 4 January 1965) was an American-born essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic, and "one of the twentieth century's major poets".〔Bush, Ronald. "T.S. Eliot's Life and Career." ''American National Biography''. Ed. John A Garraty and Mark C. Carnes. New York: Oxford University Press, 1999.()〕 He immigrated to England in 1914 at age 25, settling, working and marrying there. He was eventually naturalised as a British subject in 1927 at age 39, renouncing his American citizenship.
Eliot attracted widespread attention for his poem ''The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'' (1915), which is seen as a masterpiece of the Modernist movement. It was followed by some of the best-known poems in the English language, including ''The Waste Land'' (1922), ''The Hollow Men'' (1925), ''Ash Wednesday'' (1930), and ''Four Quartets'' (1945).〔(Thomas Stearns Eliot ), ''Encyclopaedia Britannica'', accessed 7 November 2009.〕 He is also known for his seven plays, particularly ''Murder in the Cathedral'' (1935). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948, "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry."〔("The Nobel Prize in Literature 1948 – T.S. Eliot" ), Nobelprize.org, taken from Frenz, Horst (ed). ''Nobel Lectures, Literature 1901–1967''. Elsevier Publishing Company, Amsterdam, 1969, accessed 6 March 2012.〕
