Notes on
The Waste Land ...
Ash Wednesday

An Anglo-American poet, critic, dramatist, and editor, Thomas Stearns Eliot was a major innovator in modern English poetry, famous above all for his revolutionary poem The Waste Land (1922). His seminal critical essays, such as those published in The Sacred Wood (1920), helped to usher in literary modernism by stressing tradition, continuity, and objective discipline over indulgent romanticism and subjective egoism. In rejecting the poetic values of the English romantics and Victorians, Eliot, along with William Butler Yeats and Ezra Pound, set new poetic standards equal to those established by James Joyce and Marcel Proust in fiction. In 1948 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature.
Eliot, born in St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 26, 1888, was descended from a distinguished New England family. Between 1906 and 1914 he attended Harvard, studying widely in literature and philosophy. As a graduate student in philosophy, Eliot went abroad to study principally at the Sorbonne and Oxford. With the outbreak of World War I in 1914, he decided to take up permanent residence in England and became a British subject in 1927. In 1915 he married Vivien Haigh-Wood, whose mental instability led to her confinement in institutions from 1930 until her death in 1947. The emotional difficulties produced by the marriage evidently prompted some intense passages in Eliot's poetry. Living in London, he worked as a teacher and bank clerk and helped edit the imagist magazine

Two hundred and eighteen years later, his direct descendant, Thomas Stearns Eliotwho would become the most celebrated English-language poet of the centurywas born in St. Louis, Mo., to a businessman and a poet, Henry and Charlotte Eliot. Although young Tom was brilliantly educated in English and European literature and in Eastern and Western philosophy and religion, he fledin his mid 20sthe career in philosophy awaiting him at Harvard, and moved to England. There he married (disastrously), met the entrepreneurial Ezra Pound and, while working at Lloyds Bank, brought out Prufrock and Other Observations . Five years later, after a nervous breakdown and a stay in a Swiss sanatorium in Lausanne, he published The Waste Land . Modern poetry had struck its note. Not everyone was impressed. Dorothy Wellesley, writing to W.B. Yeats, said petulantly, "But Eliot, that man isn't modern. He wrings the past dry and pours the juice down the throats of those who are either too busy, or too creative to read as much as he does." "The juice of the past" isn't a bad description of the lifeblood of

http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1948/eliot-bio.html
Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, of an old New England family. He was educated at Harvard and did graduate work in philosophy at the Sorbonne, Harvard, and Merton College, Oxford
Eliot has been one of the most daring innovators of twentieth-century poetry. Never compromising either with the public or indeed with language itself, he has followed his belief that poetry should aim at a representation of the complexities of modern civilization in language and that such representation necessarily leads to difficult poetry. Despite this difficulty his influence on modern poetic diction has been immense. 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. In Ash Wednesday (1930) and the Four Quartets Murder in the Cathedral (1935) and The Family Reunion (1939) are more openly Christian apologies. In his essays, especially the later ones, Eliot advocates a traditionalism in religion, society, and literature that seems at odds with his pioneer activity as a poet. But although the Eliot of

Amir Hamed

literatura
Balada de Alfred J Prufrock en tiempos tan agitados. Adelgaza ese héroe mínimo que es Prufrock, que escuchó cantar a las sirenas homéricas a sabiendas de que no cantaban para él. Entre tanto estrépito y páramo, las suyas son cuestiones de make up: si debe peinarse con la raya al medio, si debe volver a hacerse el dobladillo y las botamangas, mientras "en el cuarto de al lado las mujeres van y vienen hablando de Michelangelo ".
pretenden -como Madonna o Michael Jackson - pasar un mensaje a partir de su make up, de su cambio de imagen, porque no lo encuentran en sus palabras. Más sofisticado, El Artista Antiguamente Conocido Como Prince encontró a su modo mayor expresividad y verdad en una auto-interrogante. El esquelético Charlie García o la interrogación de quien fuera Prince parecen no dejar dudas de que estos son días de estrellas mortecinas. Y es entonces cuando la obsesiva, la melodiosa, la casi enconada pregunta del apocado Prufrock, "¿me comeré ese durazno?" resulta, todavía, una de las más adecuadas preguntas por el ser.

    Thomas Sterns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26, 1888. He was raised in a family that had distinguished Americans since colonial days. At 18 years of age, T.S. Eliot entered Harvard, after graduating he went abroad. Then he taught in a boys school briefly before spending eight years in Lloyds Bank in London. T.S. Eliot inspired the musical Cats in the 1980s from his well-known book Old Possum's Book of Cats . He also wrote "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufock" in 1915. After 1915, T.S. Eliot wrote such poems as "Portrait of a Lady". The Waste Land appeared in 1922. It was considered by many to be his most challenging work. In 1927 Thomas Sterns Eliot became a British subject and was confirmed in the Church of England. His essays, "For Lancelot Andrews" (1928) and his poetry, "Four Quartets" (1943) increasingly reflected this association with a traditional culture. "The Rock" (1934), his first drama, was a pageant play. This was followed by "Murder in the Cathedral" (1935), a play dealing with the assassination of Archbishop Thomas a Becket, who was later canonized. In 1948, King George VI bestowed the order of Merit on T.S. Eliot, and in that same year he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. On January 4, 1965 Thomas Sterns Eliot died at the age of 76.

Ponsonby, 10 December 1874) We do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency, has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of mankind; and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it.
