T.S. Eliot was a prominent American-British poet and playwright of the early 20th century. His works, such as "The Waste Land" and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," are known for their complex themes, modernist style, and use of literary allusions.
Modernism: A literary movement that emerged in the late 19th to early 20th century, characterized by experimentation with form, fragmented narratives, and a focus on individual consciousness.
Literary Allusions: References to other literary works or figures within a text, often used to enhance meaning or create connections between different works.
Imagery: Vivid language that appeals to the senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) in order to create mental images and evoke emotions in the reader.
