From 65438 to 0906, he entered Harvard University to study philosophy, then went to Oxford University in England, and then stayed in England to teach and be a clerk. 1908 began to create. There are poems such as Pruefer Locke and Other Observed Things, Selected Poems and Quartet. As a representative poem, The Waste Land expresses the spiritual disillusionment of the western generation and is regarded as an epoch-making work in modern western literature. 1948 won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "innovating modern poetry and achieving outstanding pioneers". Eliot Thomas stearns Eliot (1888- 1965) was the most influential poet in Britain in the 20th century. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Grandfather is a priest and the former president of this university. My father is in business, and my mother is a poet and has written religious poems. Eliot studied philosophy and comparative literature at Harvard University, was exposed to Sanskrit and oriental culture, was interested in Hegelian philosophers and was also influenced by French symbolism literature. 19 14 years, Eliot met the American poet pound. After the outbreak of World War I, he came to England and settled in London, where he worked as a teacher and bank clerk. 1922 founded the quarterly literary criticism standard, and served as the editor-in-chief until 1939. 1927 British nationality. Eliot thinks he is a royalist in politics, an English Catholic in religion and a classicist in literature. All these can be found in his works. 1948 won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his Quartet. Eliot's poetic career can be divided into three stages. In his early works, he was depressed and often used association, metaphor and suggestion to express the distress of modern people. Pruefer Locke's famous work Love Song (19 15) expresses the protagonist's contradictory mentality of longing and fear for love in the form of inner monologue, and shows the emptiness and cowardice of modern people. This poem was later included in his first book of poetry, Pruefer Locke et al (19 17). His other work, Poems (1920), published during this period also reflected the pessimism and disappointment of western intellectuals after World War I, which was well received by British and American literary circles. The Little Old Man is considered as the prelude to The Waste Land. 1922- 1929 is an important period of Eliot's creation, and the techniques and contents of his poems tend to be complicated. The representative works The Wasteland (1922) and The Hollow Man (1925) show that westerners are facing the dilemma of the collapse of modern civilization, with very little hope and extremely empty living conditions. The despair in The Hollow Man is very obvious: man is hollow, his mind is full of straw, his voice is "completely meaningless, like the wind blowing on the hay", and the whole world will end in a hiss. The hollow man is a symbol of modern people's loss of soul. After 1929, Eliot continued to explore the art of poetry, and at the same time his thoughts began to change. His long poem "Grey Wednesday" (1930) has a strong religious color, and the author tries to seek liberation from religion. Quartet (1943) is an important work in his later period. This is a group of philosophical and religious meditation poems with four titles. Burned Norton refers to an English rural residential site, East Kirk is the village where Eliot's ancestors lived in Britain, Gan Sallvik is a rock on the beach in Massachusetts, and Little Chartolia is a small church for Christians in China during the English Civil War in the17th century. These places are places that the poet thinks are memorable. Each poem imitates Beethoven's quartet and has five movements. Poetry expresses the disillusionment of life and preaches Christian humility and self-help. Some critics think this is Eliot's masterpiece. Eliot also made great achievements in the field of poetic drama, trying to create a modern poetic drama model. Murder in the Cathedral (1935) is the protagonist of Archbishop Beckett in the12nd century, and the script affirms religious dedication. His other plays include family gatherings and cocktail parties. Eliot is also an important literary critic. He has written many famous literary papers, such as Tradition and Personal Talent and Three Voices of Poetry. He put forward a series of important viewpoints, such as a writer should have a sense of history, a writer should not be divorced from the literary tradition but can enrich and change the tradition with his own creation, and a poet should look for an "objective counterpart". He also put forward the principles of poetry creation and evaluation in articles such as "Holy Forest" and "On Poetry and Poets". These views have a great influence on the new criticism.
