Biographical History

T. S. (Thomas Stearns) Eliot (1888-1965) was an essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic and one of the twentieth century's major poets. His poem "East Coker" is the second of his Four Quartets.

Partisan Review was an American political and literary quarterly published from 1934 to 2003. Founded as an alternative to New Masses, the publication of the American Communist Party, it was firmly anti-Communist.
