This superb anthology by T. S. Eliot features The Love Song of J.
Alfred Prufrock, as well as a selection of other works from the
poet's early career. The titular poem is steeped heavily in the
Renaissance era literature with which T. S. Eliot was highly
appreciative. The monologue is strongly inspired by readings of
Dante Alighieri and William Shakespeare, poets whom deeply impacted
Eliot during his youth and which he read meticulously. A work whose
emotions include longing and regret, we hear Prufrock lament the
missed opportunities and morose reflections of mortality which
occupy his melancholic mind. For its eclectic embrace of past works
in a monologue bursting with emotive depth, Prufrock was lauded as
a triumphant work of the Modernist era. T. S. Eliot gained ample
fame as a young literary, and would go on to author several other
landmark poems throughout his life.
