Thomas Stearns Eliot was an American-born poet, essayist, and playwright who became one of the most influential figures in English-language Modernist poetry. His innovative use of language, structure, and style revolutionized the art, establishing him as a major voice in 20th-century literature. Eliot s works, often infused with deep cultural, philosophical, and psychological exploration, contributed to reshaping the modern literary landscape. His critical essays, too, were groundbreaking, offering new perspectives on cultural and literary traditions, challenging established beliefs and ideas. Eliot s poetry and essays revealed his intellectual depth and complex understanding of history, culture, and society. He also wrote several acclaimed plays, such as Murder in the Cathedral, The Cocktail Party, and The Rock. Born on September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri, Eliot moved to England, where he spent much of his life and ultimately passed away on January 4, 1965, in London. His influence extended beyond poetry, leaving a lasting imprint on philosophy, theatre, and literary criticism, continuing to shape the literary world even after his death.
