T.S. Eliot Reading "The Waste Land" and Other Poems/Audio Cassette

Rating:
Summary: Eliot's Modernist Reflection
Review: The Waste Land, published in 1922 and considered one of the major works associated with modernism. This poem deals despairingly with the state of post-World War I society, which Eliot saw as sterile and decadent. Numerous references to religious imagery, mythology and literature of the past are used ironically to point out the comparative emptiness of Eliot's time.

Rating:
Summary: Good and useful
Review: This collection of Eliot's work is definitely a must-have. It consists of 24 poems from two collections, and The Waste Land. The selection and variety are good, and notes on The Waste Land are quite useful.
