T.S. Eliot

T.S.

Eliot (1888–1965) was an American-born British poet, dramatist, and literary critic whose work helped define modernist poetry.

His poems "The Waste Land" and "The Love Song of J.

Alfred Prufrock" are landmarks of twentieth-century literature, noted for their fragmented style, allusive density, and sense of cultural disillusionment.

Eliot also wrote the light verse that became the basis for the musical *Cats*.

He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948.
