About the author

Thomas Stearns Eliot was a poet, dramatist and literary critic. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948 "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry." He wrote the poems The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, The Waste Land, The Hollow Men, Ash Wednesday, and Four Quartets; the plays Murder in the Cathedral and The Cocktail Party; and the essay Tradition and the Individual Talent. Eliot was born an American, moved to the United Kingdom in 1914 (at the age of 25), and became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39.

[Jen Well-Steered · Rating 4 out of 5]

They really do a bad job with TS Eliot, forcing you to read The Waste Land and discuss WWI and how poetry was no longer about the pastoral and romantic, but now about the chaos of modern society and what Lil spent the money Albert gave her for her teeth on. Far more accessible is Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats which is arguably his far more lasting and significant contribution to modern culture. No one's going to get Andrew Lloyd Webber to compose the music for Idris Elba and Taylor Swift to dance around in weird sexless catsuits singing about staying at the archduke's or Madame Sosostris' tarot predictions. The plays are pretty good, too. If theatre ever manages to re-start again post-Covid, I will definitely see if I can't find one playing in London.

I could read The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock every week and still be haunted by its tone and images.
