Product Description

This all-new Signet Classic contains many of T.S. Eliot's most important early poems, leading to perhaps his greatest masterpiece, The Waste land, which has long been regarded as one of the fundamental texts of modernism. By combining poetic elements from many diverse sources with bits of popular culture and common speech linked in a fragmented narrative, Eliot recreated the chaos and disillusionment of Europe in the aftermath of WWI. The Waste Land is a modernist literary masterpiece. Contains a number of early poems, including Spleen, The Death of St. Narcissus, The Love Song of J. Prufrock, Preludes, Gerontion, The Hippopotmaus, and Sweeny Among the Nightingales. T.S. Eliot is the winner of the 1948 Nobel Prize for Literature, and is one of America's greatest poets. Edited and with an Introduction by Helen Vendler, a foremost scholar of moderism at Harvard University who writes regularly for the New Yorker and The New Republic. Vendler is also the author of books on other essential poets, including W.B. Yeats, Wallace Stevens, John Keats, George Herbert, and the forthcoming The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnete. @DeadFlowers Note From Ezra Pound: Maybe cut 75%?

4.0 out of 5 stars T.S.Eliot's poems Feb 18 2004
By Katrina Kang
Format:Paperback
The poems written by T.S.Eliot are extremely enticing poems in the way that they carry various themes which have been used throughout. These themes hold a strong message and I believe that the message that is depicted from Eliot gives us a way to think forward about our own lives. Eliot aims to search for the meaning of life, something we all hope to discover. However, soon after I read these peoms I understood that "life" does not have only one definition. People see life in different ways and have different perspectives and the experiences they have, may dismiss what they once thought life was about. Therefore, my message to all my readers, is that do not waste time searching for what cannot be found! Thankyou! Katrina Kang

5.0 out of 5 stars Search for your soul May 13 2003
By Ventura Angelo
Format:Paperback
He's the one and only poet of modern man's soul. All modern literature owes to him. Not only this, but he had great imagination and a wry sense of humour. Among his "minor" works sonnets like "The hippopotamus" is worth a poem of some modern writer. Read him to inspire your mind!

5.0 out of 5 stars Prufrock's Magnum Opus... April 24 2000
By yygsgsdrassil
Format:Paperback
...not exactly "The Love Song..." but "The Waste Land" is Prufrock's alter-ego's best. It says that nobility, moderation, standards of beauty and high taste--all the so called great ideas--have been cast aside for love of the almighty dollar, pursuit of success and wealth. What? You don't believe me? You didn't read that? Read it again. And again. A note or two: Ezra Pound, TS Eliot's friendly foe, did editing of the original manuscript cutting about half of it, but TS loved the work he made the reader go through, so there are great passages of pure license that generally makes the reader go mad, but nevertheless are quite compelling. TS was also quite an aficionado of the French Symbolists, especially Jules Laforgue...this inflenced his work greatly.
