Thomas Stearns Eliot, better known as T.S. Eliot, was an American-English poet, playwright, literary critic, and editor. A leader of the Modernist movement in poetry, his works influenced many established British poets of that day. Born in the United States America in late nineteenth century, he was infatuated with literature from his early childhood, inheriting his mother’s literally skill, writing his first poetry at the age of fourteen. It was not until he was seventeen that his literary talent began to bloom and at Harvard, where he went for his undergraduate studies, he made quite an impression by his regular contribution to the Harvard Advocate. But, he actually began to flourish when he shifted to England at the age of twenty-six, where his first published book, ‘Prufrock and Other Observations’, made him famous overnight. However, for a writer of his stature, he had produced comparatively small number of poems. That is because he wanted each of them to be perfect. For his contribution to poetry, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of sixty.
