He finally got away from his job at the bank; he was recruited as a literary editor for Faber and Gwyer, a new publishing firm. Just about then, Eliot reached out for religious support. He turned towards the Anglican Church, for lack of satisfaction in his family church of Unitarianism. As a critic, he has an enormous impact on contemporary literature tastes. After his conversion in the late thirties to orthodox Christianity, his view became more and more socially and religiously conservative. His new found faith was to later influence his poem The Hollow Men. Few of his followers were ready for the Baptism of Eliot. With Eliot's "revolutionary" style of writing, anger began to grow. Eliot began to write more and more on religious emphases and spiritual growth. In 1925, Eliot's marriage continued to deteriorate, to the point where they separated in 1930, but Eliot would not consider divorce because it went against his Anglican beliefs. Vivienne made many attempts to make Eliot reconcile with her, but he kept his distance for the next eight years. In 1934, Eliot published "Burnt Norton", a poem on which he based the structure for many of his later poems. In 1938, Vivienne was committed to Northumberland House, a mental hospital of London. During the Blitz, Eliot served as an air-raid warden, but spent many weekends at friend's houses in Guilford. In these circumstances, Eliot wrote three poems: "East Coker" in 1940, "The Dry Savages" in 1941, and "Little Gidding" in 1942. Eliot wrote plays throughout the rest of his life. Some were made for the church; others were made for a look on contemporary life. In 1948, T. S. Eliot received the Nobel Prize for Literature. In 1956, Eliot remarried to Valerie Fletcher, who he lived with happily until he died. Eliot continued to write poems and criticism from this time until he died on January 4, 1965. .
