<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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 recreates the chaos and disillusionment of Europe in the aftermath of World War I.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A collection of T.S. Eliot's most important poems, including "The Waste Land" and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." <p/></b>T. S. Eliot is one of the most important and influential poets of the twentieth century. His unique and innovative evocations of the folly and poetry of humanity helped reshape modern literature, with poems such as "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," included here, and most notable, the title poem, "The Waste Land," his groundbreaking masterpiece of postwar decay and redemption. Since its publication in 1922, "The Waste Land" has become one of the most widely studied modernist texts in English literature. <p/>Gathering together many of Eliot's major early poems, distinguished Harvard scholar and literary critic Helen Vendler presents an invaluable portrait of T. S. Eliot as a young poet and examines the artistry and craft that made him a Nobel laureate and one of the most significant voices in modern verse.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>T.
