    Signature

    Thomas Stearns Eliot OM (26 September 1888 4 January 1965) was a British essayist,
    publisher, playwright, literary and social critic, and "one of the twentieth century's major poets".
    He moved from his native United States to England in 1914 at the age of 25, settling, working,
    [2]

    and marrying there. He was eventually naturalised as a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39,
    renouncing his American citizenship. [3]

    Eliot attracted widespread attention for his poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1915),
    which was seen as a masterpiece of the Modernist movement. It was followed by some of the
    best-known poems in the English language, including The Waste Land (1922), "The Hollow Men"
    (1925), "Ash Wednesday" (1930), and Four Quartets (1943). He was also known for his seven
    [4]

    plays, particularly Murder in the Cathedral (1935). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in
    Literature in 1948, "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry".[5][6]
