.... extreme personal difficulty in his work and with his first wife’s poor health. Writing himself about an even earlier work, The Waste Land (1922), Eliot concluded that ‘some forms of illness are extremely favourable to religious illumination’. I have not had personal experience of this but I am aware that serious illness and death can often make people focus sharply on the meaning of life. This could be said of the circumstances surrounding the writing of The Hollow Men, even if the ‘illumination’ simply highlighted a very dark time in Eliot’s life. The overriding image of humankind as ‘hollow men’ is powerful and depr .....

.... by many to be his most challenging work (see American Literature). In 1927 Eliot became a British subject and was confirmed in the Church of England. His essays ('For Lancelot Andrewes', 1928) and his poetry ('Four Quartets', 1943) increasingly reflected this association with a traditional culture. His first drama was 'The Rock' (1934), a pageant play.   This was followed by 'Murder in the Cathedral' (1935), a play dealing with the assassination of Archbishop Thomas a Becket, who was later canonized.
