I studied this poem in high school, it was simply a revelation.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is the poem that marked the start of T. S. Eliot's career as one of the twentieth century's most influential poets. "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", also referred to as Prufrock, is one of the most anthologized 20th century poems in English. The poem is a dramatic monologue, a form that had been much favored by Robert Browning, and uses the "stream of consciousness" literary technique.

Thank you very much. Man, you would never guess that guy was American before he moved to Britain at the age of 25.

Awesome post, but this isn't TS Eliot reading it; it's English actor Michael Gough. I'd also argue that this isn't stream of consciousness, for that you should read Ulysses by Joyce.

Both Joyce and Eliot are part of the modernism movement in litreature, where authors were experimenting with ways of exploring objective reality and truth, one of the major innovations was the stream of consciousness narrative.

Joyce's Ulysses written in 1922 is the earleist example, followed by Ms Dalloway by Woolf and Faulkner with The Sound and The Fury. Eliot falls in the same category only he explored it through his poetry, another example would be Ezra Pound.
