Personal experience
• T.S. Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, where his grandfather had helped to found the university of Washington.
Writing style:
1.Postmodernism
2.poetry:fresh visual imagery, flexible tone, and highly expressive rhythm. 3.His search for order, form, and discipline led him forward conservatism and religion for salvation
• After he received his M.A. degree in Harvard and had studied in Paris and Oxford, he settled down in1915 in England, teaching, working as a bank clerk, writing book reviews for publishers. • For two years(1917-1919)Eliot was editor of the egoist（自我主义者）, founded the criterion in 1922,and was its editor until 1939 . • He won the Nobel Prize for literature.
• Eliot became, by 1925, the acknowledged leader of the new verse and criticism both in America and great Britain. • It is no exaggeration to state that he was the most successful literary dictator in American literary history, one who wielded the most decisive influence over literary development for a long time.
• Ash Wednesday 圣灰星期三 1930 • Four Quartets 四个四重奏 1943 Burnt Norton East Color The Dry Salvages Little Gidding 被烧毁的诺顿 东科克 干燥的塞尔维吉斯 小吉丁
Literary contribution
• Both of his parents were cultured people so that young Eliot received a good education, especially in classic literature.
• He went to Harvard in 1906 to study under such eminent（著名的） scholars as George Santayana(1863-1952), barrette Wendell, and Irving babbitt(1865-1933) whose neo-humanism had a great influence on his intellectual growth.
4.“The Waste Land” is high modernism of the 1920s, impersonal , discontinuous with its fragments, full of literary allusions and ancient myths, modern life against the historical post and finding in many ways

1. He became “a giver of laws and the arbiter of taste” in the new poetry and criticism. 2. He was the most successful literary dictator in American literary history, one who wielded the most decisive influence over literary development for a long time. 3. He was one of the first if not the first to sense the futility and fragmentization of modern life and see modern society at its most disgusting.
“the waste land” which revealing as it does the spiritual crisis of postwar Europe, read like the manifest of the “lost generation” and established Eliot's position as the leader not only of new American poetry, but of a whole generation of writers later to be identified as “waste land painters” like Hemingway and Faulkner.
