T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) was a poet, playwright, and literary critic. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. He was born in the United States but emigrated to the United Kingdom, becoming a British subject in 1927. He received a master's degree from Harvard but studied at several universities. He spent the war years of World War I in London. Eliot is today remembered for his poetry, canonical by today's standards but deemed quite shocking upon publication.
