Produktbeschreibung

Prufrock and Other Observations is a collection of poems by T. S. Eliot, first published in 1917. The title poem, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, is perhaps the most well-known and influential piece in the collection. The poems in this collection are considered to be early examples of Eliot's work and showcase his distinctive modernist style. Prufrock and Other Observations is significant for its departure from traditional poetic forms and themes. Eliot's use of modernist techniques, such as fragmentation and allusion, marks a shift in poetic expression during the early 20th century. The collection is a precursor to Eliot's later and more famous works, such as The Waste Land, and it provides insights into his evolving poetic style and thematic concerns.

Autorenporträt

Thomas Stearns Eliot, (1888 - 1965) was a British essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic and "one of the twentieth century's major poets". He moved from his native United States to England in 1914 at the age of 25, settling, working and marrying there. He eventually became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39, renouncing his American citizenship. Eliot attracted widespread attention for his poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1915), which was seen as a masterpiece of the Modernist movement. It was followed by some of the best-known poems in the English language, including "The Waste Land" (1922), "The Hollow Men" (1925), "Ash Wednesday" (1930), and "Four Quartets" (1943). He was also known for his seven plays, particularly "Murder in the Cathedral" (1935) and "The Cocktail Party" (1949). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948, "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry".
