T.S. Eliot (Poet)

T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) was a significant modernist poet, playwright, and essayist, known for his innovative use of language, structure, and themes. His work often explores complex subjects like time, identity, and the human experience. Notable poems include "The Waste Land," which reflects the disillusionment of post-World War I society, and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," a poignant exploration of self-doubt. Eliot's writing is characterized by rich imagery and a blend of traditional and contemporary influences, earning him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948 for his profound impact on modern poetry.
