Thomas Stearns Eliot, OM (September 26, 1888 – January 4, 1965), was a poet, dramatist and literary critic. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948 &quot;for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry.&quot; He wrote the poems The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, The Waste Land, The Hollow Men, Ash Wednesday, and Four Quartets; the plays Murder in the Cathedral and The Cocktail Party; and the essay Tradition and the Individual Talent. Eliot was born an American, moved to the United Kingdom in 1914 (at the age of 25), and became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Homer, Virgil, The Bible, Dante, Shakespeare and Early Modern English Theatre, Dr. Johnson, Arnold, Laforgue, Yeats, Donne, Baudelaire, Conrad, Tennyson, Frazer, Hulme, Pound]]></influences>  <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>St. Louis, Missouri</hometown>  <born_at>12/13/1901</born_at>  <died_at>01/04/1965</died_at>
