Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is the type of novel that is open to interpretation and students will gain a better understanding from reading all of the discussion. Doctorow is quoted in several chapters. Students looking for criticism and analysis of literary works will find it easy to use this title rather than searching endlessly for the Journals in which these articles may have originally appeared. A valuable resource for literature collections." --Source

About the Author

T. S. Eliot (1888 1965) was one of the fathers of modernism and a defining voice in English-language poetry. He is the author of some of the best known poems in the English language, including "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," The Waste Land, "Ash Wednesday," and Four Quartets. The leading poet of the modernist avant-garde, Eliot radically reimagined the possibilities for literature in the twentieth century and beyond, and was also renowned as a playwright and as a literary and social critic. Eliot's books of criticism include The Sacred Wood, while his theatrical works include Murder in the Cathedral. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948.

Paul Muldoon is the author of numerous volumes of poetry, including, most recently, The Word on the Street. He is the poetry editor of The New Yorker and the Howard G. B. Clark '21 Professor in the Humanities at Princeton University. His awards include the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the T. S. Eliot Prize.

Like a map for finding the Grail . . . .

April 15, 2001

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Literature scholars universally recognize Eliot's "Waste Land" as one of the most influential poems of the 20th century. The poem draws on a wealth of images, everything from classics of Western literature to Tarot cards, from anthropology to Eastern sacred texts. The title refers to the barren land of the Fisher King in Arthurian legend; both the king and the land eventually find redemption through the Holy Grail. Through a masterful use of language and symbols, Eliot brilliantly portrays the problem of meaning in the modern world --- and the way to deeper meaning!
Unfortunately, many of Eliot's references are arcane, and not easy for the lay reader to pursue. For example, few modern readers happen to have a copy of Webster's play "White Devil" or excerpts from Shackleton's account of the Antarctic expedition readily available on their shelves. Hence, the virtue of this particular edition: in addition to Eliot's original poem and original notes, this book includes the relevant passages from every single work Eliot quotes in the "Wasteland", all translated into English. For the first time I have seen in print, this book allows the reader to understand this magnificent poem in light of the full scope of its allusions. A triumphant achievement!

Garlic and Sapphires in the Mud

I had T. S. Eliot reading The Waste Land, Four Quartets and Prufrock and it was good. Then I found out that BBC had recorded Paul Scofield A Man for All Seasons (Special Edition) reading Eliot and had to have a copy. It does not disappoint. Blew poor T. S. out of the water. As the title indicates the Quartets (based on Beethoven's Spring Quartet #15)are supposed to be verbal music. Scofield manages to capture this quality. Hypnotically beautiful.

I found this edition extremely helpful in deciphering a difficult poem. The notes themselves were sometimes a challenge to understand, however, I have much more insight into Eliot's most famous poem.

I hated this when I first read it in college. But the professor made it come to life when we covered it the next day. I have a whole new appreciation for this. Recently the professor has passed away, and I just had to re- read it.
