T.S. Eliot

T.S. Eliot was a prominent 20th-century poet, playwright, and literary critic, best known for works like "The Waste Land" and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1888, he later became a British citizen. Eliot's innovative approach to modernist poetry and his profound impact on the literary world earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948.
