This groundbreaking book of literary detective work alters our understanding of T. S. Eliot’s poetic masterpiece,The Waste Land. Lawrence Rainey not only resolves longstanding mysteries surrounding the composition of the poem but also overturns traditional interpretations of the poem that have prevailed for more than eighty years. He shines new light on Eliot’s greatest achievement and on the poem’s place in the modern canon.Far from the austere and sober monument to neoclassicism that admirers have praised,The Waste Landturns out to be something quite different: something grim and wild, unruly and intractable, violent and shocking and radically indeterminate, yet also deeply compassionate. Rainey looks at how Eliot went about writing the poem and at the sequence in which he composed the parts. Arriving at new insights into the poet’s intentions, Rainey unsettles tradition-bound views of the poem and shows us thatThe Waste Landis even stranger and more startling than we knew.
