Introduction by Mary Karr

First published in 1922, "The Waste Land," T. S. Eliot's masterpiece, is not only one of the key works of modernism but also one of the greatest poetic achievements of the twentieth century. A richly allusive pilgrimage of spiritual and psychological torment and redemption, Eliot's poem exerted a revolutionary influence on his contemporaries, summoning forth a potent new poetic language. As Kenneth Rexroth wrote, Eliot "articulated the mind of an epoch in words that seemed its most natural expression." As commanding as his verse, Eliot's criticism also transformed twentieth-century letters, and this Modern Library edition includes a selection of Eliot's most important essays.

About T.S. Eliot

Leader of the Modernist movement and Nobel laureate, Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and later took British citizenship. His sequence The Waste Land appeared in 1922, followed by Four Quartets (1943). Earlier work included Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) and Ash-Wednesday (1930). Eliot also wrote for the stage, notably the verse drama Murder in the Cathedral (1935), and worked as an influential critic and publisher. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948 and the British Order of Merit the same year.
