T S Eliot

T. S. Eliot (1888–1965) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and died in London. He studied at Harvard University, the Sorbonne, and Oxford. He later settled in England and became a British citizen in 1927. Alongside his work as a poet, Eliot worked as a teacher, bank clerk, and literary critic; he also edited the literary journal The Criterion. He is regarded as one of the major English-language poets of the 20th century.
