A memorial plaque to Eliot mounted in 1998 on the sidewalk at the site of his birthplace, 2635 Locust Street in St. Louis, notes his titles: "Poet, Philosopher, Literary Critic, Dramatist, Nobel Laureate." In fact, Eliot did not get down to writing poetic drama until as late as his last masterpiece Four Quartets (1936-43), although he made an attempt to write his first poetic drama Sweeney Agonistes in 1923-25, but could not complete it. Nevertheless, he had been deeply interested in poetic drama and had written many essays on poetic dramas and poetic dramatists since the beginning. (1)
