Eliot's lengthy poem The Waste Land speaks eloquently to the fragmented and confused years of the early 20th century. It was a period characterized by war, increasing urbanization, and a resulting sense of alienation felt by many. • • Rife with surreal imagery and references to myth and legend, the poem nonetheless evokes a distinctly contemporary sensibility. • • Its narrative is intentionally incoherent, jumping from scene to unrelated scene. This suggests the lack of purpose felt by many in the conflicted time during which it was written. • • Eliot nonetheless finds terrible beauty in this barren new world—a woman's flaming hair spells out words in the air, music drifts over a desolate landscape. The poem grasps for meaning in an increasingly meaningless universe. • • American poet T. S. Eliot’s poem The Waste Land was first published in 1922, against a backdrop of domestic unhappiness, illness, and money worries in the Eliot household. The world’s most celebrated modern poem, it is a keystone of modernist verse. • • The poem The Waste Land contains many enduring themes, including ennui and promiscuity, as The Waste Land is filled with bored, apathetic, and physically drained people; self-sacrifice, as the antidote to ennui is self-sacrifice, which is evoked through the many images of trial and tribulation; and foresight and clairvoyance, as foresight is the alternative to that apathetic state, where the struggles of the present prevent the individual from moving forward and from thinking about and planning for the future. Important symbols include the waste land as symbolic landscape and as a sick/corrupt body. • • Explore Course Hero’s collection of free literature study guides, Q A pairs, and infographics here: https://www.coursehero.com/lit/ • • About Course Hero: • Course Hero helps empower students and educators to succeed!
