S. Eliot finished what became the definitive poem of the modern condition, one that still casts a large and ominous shadow over twentieth-century poetry. Built upon the imagery of the Grail legend, the Fisher King, and ancient fertility cults, “\u003cb\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/b\u003e” is both a poetic diagnosis of an ailing civilization and a desperate quest for spiritual renewal. Through pastiche and collage Eliot unfolds a nightmarish landscape of sexual disorder and spiritual desolation, inhabited by the voice (literary, historical, mythic, contemporary) of an unconscious that is at turns deeply personal and culturally collective. This edition includes “\u003cb\u003eThe Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock\u003c\/b\u003e,” “\u003cb\u003ePortrait of a Lady\u003c\/b\u003e,” “\u003cb\u003eGerontion\u003c\/b\u003e,” and more.\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106257879280,"sku":"9781101200766","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101200766_p0.jpg?v=1763686412","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101200766","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
