Collected Poems 1909-1962
(Author) T.S. EliotEach year Eliot's presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more astonished, more humble.' Ted Hughes Poet, dramatist, critic and editor, T. S. Eliot was one of the defining figures of twentieth-century poetry. This edition of Collected Poems 1909-1962 includes his verse from Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) to Four Quartets (1943), and includes such literary landmarks as The Waste Land and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.
T.S. Eliot
T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) was a highly influential poet, essayist, and playwright of the 20th century. His most notable works include "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," "The Waste Land," and "Four Quartets." Eliot's literary style was characterized by its complexity, symbolism, and exploration of themes such as identity, alienation, and the search for meaning in a fragmented world. He is credited with revolutionizing modern poetry through his innovative use of language, form, and imagery. Eliot's impact on the literary genre of modernism is profound, as he challenged traditional poetic conventions and paved the way for future generations of poets to experiment and push boundaries. His most famous work, "The Waste Land," is considered a landmark in 20th-century literature for its exploration of the disillusionment and despair of post-World War I society. Eliot's contributions to literature continue to be celebrated and studied for their enduring relevance and influence on the literary canon.
