T.S. Eliot's Life and Career Eliot was the youngest of seven children, born when his parents were prosperous and secure in their mid-forties (his father had recovered from an earlier business failure) and his siblings were half grown. Among his teachers, Eliot was drawn to the forceful moralizing of Irving Babbitt and the stylish skepticism of George Santayana, both of whom reinforced his distaste for the reform-minded, progressive university shaped by Eliot's cousin, Charles William Eliot. Eliot spent the early summer of 1914 at a seminar in Marburg, Germany, with plans to study in the fall at Merton College, Oxford, with Harold Joachim, Bradley's colleague and successor. www.english.uiuc.edu /maps/poets/a_f/eliot/life.htm   (3763 words)

Literary Encyclopedia: Eliot, George George Eliot's novels are characterized by close attention to the psychological acuity with which her characters' feelings and mental dilemmas are delineated, and to the detail of interpersonal relationships on the domestic and social level. Association with George Eliot would always force men to chose between the rejection of her in the name of social values and the rejection of social values in the name of reason. Feuerbach, whom Eliot found more congenial, had argued that it was simply a psychological habit of man to refer to the will of god (or the gods) rather than to ascertain the physical and mechanical laws that governed the world. www.litencyc.com /php/speople.php?rec=true&UID=1408   (2165 words)

Island of Freedom - Thomas Stearns Eliot Eliot was not a prolific poet, but his small output soon gained respectful attention from readers of modern poetry on both sides of the Atlantic. Eliot's last major poetic sequence, Four Quartets (1943), which was written in four sections from 1935 to 1942 and which he believed to be his finest achievement, is religious in a very broad sense. As a young poet Eliot found inspiration in French Symbolist poetry, particularly the ironic, self-deprecating verse of Jules Laforgue, and in the flexible, colloquial blank verse of the 17th-century metaphysical poets and Jacobean dramatists. www.island-of-freedom.com /ELIOT.HTM   (1217 words)

Eliot Eliot was born on September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri, with a congenital hernia which kept him quiet as a child and out of school until he was seven or eight years old. Eliot's "Journey of the Magi" displays this "conflict between two lives, one worldly and the other Divine," placing him "in line with the metaphysicals, particularly Herbert" in its descriptions of the discomforts endured and the pleasures left behind when undertaking a spiritual journey "to glimpse the infant Christ" (152-53). Eliot uses symbols and images, significant to him, that "recur, charged with emotion," such as the "water-mill and the six ruffians," to bring connection and continuation to the journey (165). itech.fgcu.edu /faculty/wohlpart/alra/eliot.htm   (4219 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Books: Collected Poems, 1909-62 Eliot's conversion to Christianity in the late twenties infuses his later poems, giving them a sense of faith, hope and clarity which is seldom found in his earlier works. Eliot's early poems, such as "The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock" and "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" sow seeds of malcontent, followed by the bawdy disturbing works of Poems 1920. As well as one of the greatest literary minds of the century, Eliot is also important in that the his poetry is consistently well thought out but never coldy calculated: it always remains emotive. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/0571105483   (912 words)

T.S. Eliot - Biography Eliot's poetry from Prufrock (1917) to the Four Quartets (1943) reflects the development of a Christian writer: the early work, especially The Waste Land (1922), is essentially negative, the expression of that horror from which the search for a higher world arises. But although the Eliot of Notes towards the Definition of Culture (1948) is an older man than the poet of The Waste Land, it should not be forgotten that for Eliot tradition is a living organism comprising past and present in constant mutual interaction. Eliot's plays Murder in the Cathedral (1935), The Family Reunion (1939), The Cocktail Party (1949), The Confidential Clerk (1954), and TheElderStatesman(1959) were published in one volume in 1962; Collected Poems 1909-62 appeared in 1963. nobelprize.org /literature/laureates/1948/eliot-bio.html   (438 words)

Eliot Ness - from The Crime Library Never one to sit behind a desk and administrate, Eliot took to the street with a new group of trusted confidants, mostly undercover investigators and reporters, until he cleaned up the police force and put the mob chieftains behind bars. Eliot Ness was so much more than just the courageous guy who battered down the door of Capone's biggest brewery. With a new group of "Untouchables," Eliot Ness went right on fighting the mob for another decade: staging daring raids on bootleggers and illegal gambling joints, catching criminals with his bare hands, and generally putting organized crime on the run. www.crimelibrary.com /ness/nessmain.htm   (928 words)

George Eliot: Biography This policy of Lewes has often been blamed for the "abstruseness" of Eliot's later novels, but without it, she very likely would not have written at all--she certainly was no longer in need of money, having earned nearly £16,000 (Haight, GEB 369). Eventually Blackwood did publish the novel with George Eliot appearing on the title page, and when the book came out, it was a success despite all the worry about the controversial nature of Mary Anne's relationship with Lewes. As Eliot's fame increased and her renown grew, her social circle continued to widen. etext.lib.virginia.edu /collections/projects/eliot/middlemarch/bio.html   (3799 words)
