In your quest for knowledge, I hope you have found this information on T.S. Eliot helpful and useful.  Learning is sempiternal, and I hope the eternal spark of flame we read our scrolls ancient and modern by has had the chance to be reignited, or in the case of one whose flame already burns, that it has been perpetuated even a second longer.  For this purpose, this page has been created.  Take from it what you will; whether you love him, hate him, or don't know who the hell he is, Eliot's life has been laid out before you as well-crafted as it is in my ability to provide.

Here on this page, I have provided context-sensitive links concerning Eliot scholarship, admiration, and even ridicule and parody.  For those who want to know more, I place this offering before your cupped clay-idol hands.
 

What the Thunder Said.  One of the most attractive general sites for Eliot information available.  Contains a helpful timeline, so you can see all the headlines in Eliot's life.  Numerous links to other sites.

TSEBase: An Online Concordance of T.S. Eliot's Poetry.  This site provides a searchable word-by-word database of Eliot's poetry.  If it's attributed to an Eliot poem, then this search engine can give you poem and line number.

T.S. Eliot Hypertext Project.  This site is maintained by Arwin van Arum, a regular poster to MSU's T.S. Eliot discussion group.  On this page, there is a very good clickable annotation of The Waste Land and "Burbank with a Baedeker: Bleistein with a Cigar", also an impressive set of links.

T.S. Eliot Biography.  A general bio of T.S. Eliot, with extensively annotated bibliography.

T.S. Eliot reading The Waste Land.  A product of the Internet Multicasting Service, here you can listen to the master himself read aloud his poem and wonder, "What part of St. Louis do they speak like that..." ;-)  NOTE:  Be sure you either have RealAudio or a media player that plays *.au files.  The recording is divided into four sections, with "The Fire Sermon" and "Death by Water" together as one part.  Kinda scratchy, but well-worth it as an audio historical document.

T.S. Eliot reading Ash Wednesday.  A demo from HarperAudio, this recording (a staggering twelve minutes in length) is Eliot himself reading the first five parts of this 1930 spiritual masterpiece.  The recording itself is a lot clearer than The Waste Land recording above, and the fact that it is in one chunk eliminates the need for recurrent clicking.

Time 100's Twenty Most Important Artists and Entertainers.  Time magazine selected Eliot as one of the greatest artists of our century, and in this insightful analysis, written by Harvard scholar Dr. Helen Vendler, we glean a wonderful impressionistic sketch of the man and his career.  In addition, his 1950 Time cover story is reproduced here in its entirety.

Form and T.S. Eliot.  This essay explores the different methods employed by Eliot in his poetry by examining ten of his most representative works.  These methods include his earlier mythic method, which appears up to The Waste Land, and the later ritual method, which makes a sort of hybrid appearance first in Hollow Men and becomes Eliot's primary mode in Ash Wednesday.

Wastelands.  This site is gonna be amazing, and the exhibition is going to turn the world on its ear!  A grad student has submitted, for his thesis, a virtual-reality simulation of his impression of walking through the worlds of The Waste Land.  It is divided into the five parts of the poem, and it is set to be unveiled to the public in May 1999.  Here are some sample videos, images, and music from this incredible reinterpretation whose time has come.
