T. S. Eliot is one of the most celebrated twentiethcentury poets and one whose work is practically synonymous with perplexity. Eliot is perceived as extremely challenging due to the multilingual references and fragmentation we find in his poetry and his recurring literary allusions to writers including Dante, Shakespeare, Marvell, Baudelaire, and Conrad. There is an additional difficulty for todays readers that Eliot probably didnt envisage the widespread unfamiliarity with the Christianity that his work is steeped in. Steve Ellis introduces Eliots work by using his extensive prose writings to illuminate the poetry. As a major critic, as well as poet, Eliot was highly conscious of the challenges his poetry set, of its relation to and difference from the work of previous poets, and of the ways in which the activity of reading was problematized by his work.
