{"product_id":"2940148707448","title":"Master and Protege: Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot","description":"From the Foreword by Philip Dossick:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its publication in 1922, The Waste Land, by T. S. Eliot (arguably the single most influential long-form poem of the twentieth century), Eliot's reputation began to grow to near-fabled proportions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy 1929, and for the next three decades, he was the dominant figure in poetry and literary criticism in the English-speaking world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it might not have always been so.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarly drafts of The Waste Land, originally entitled, \"He Do the Police in Different Voices,\" were a sprawling chaotic mess. To say they needed the guiding hand of an editor of genius would be an understatement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFortunately for Eliot, Ezra Pound was that kind of editor.\u003cbr\u003eThe final creation--the incomparable poem we know as The Waste Land, reflects almost as much Pound's vision of Eliot's poem as of Eliot's himself.","brand":"Editions Artisan Devereaux, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072728645872,"sku":"2940148707448","price":3.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148707448_p0.jpg?v=1763706684","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148707448","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
