A masterpiece of literature
Times Literary Supplement
"The Waste Land" has been hailed as the world's greatest poem, earning it the label of the most truthful work of its era and being regarded as a masterful creation.
More than a century after its initial publication in 1922, T. S. Eliot's enigmatic masterpiece continues to hold a profound influence on the literary world.
In a remarkable achievement of biography, Matthew Hollis meticulously reconstructs the process of creating the poem, vividly bringing to life the material realities of its turbulent times. Through the lives of its central characters—Ezra Pound, who edited it; Vivien Eliot, who supported it; and T. S. Eliot himself, whose personal struggles are interwoven into the fabric of the work—Hollis reveals the cultural and personal traumas that shaped "The Waste Land."
The result is an unforgettable tale of lives moving in opposite directions, leaving behind an extraordinary literary legacy that continues to resonate with readers to this day.
