"Marie Lloyd"
Marie Lloyd (1870-1922) was a British music-hall singer and comedienne. Eliot wrote an essay upon her death as the last of his "London Letters" to The Dial magazine. The essay was later revised and reprinted in Eliot's magazine, The Criterion and then later in his book Selected Essays. Besides expressing admiration for Lloyd's work, Eliot used the essay to comment upon the differences between the classes in England.

The "Marie Lloyd" link above is to the "London Letter" version of the essay (Eliot's "London Letter" essays are kept in a directory seperate from his other essays.)
