Bio T. S. Eliot was a major figure in 20th-century literature, known for his influential modernist poetry and critical essays. His work, characterized by its innovative use of language and exploration of themes such as disillusionment and fragmentation, had a profound impact on the literary world. Eliot’s conversion to Anglicanism and his conservative views also shaped his later works and public life.
