Eliot\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003ePaul Muldoon\u003c\/b\u003e (Introduction by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/em\u003e is arguably the most important poem of the twentieth century. First published in the United States by Boni \u0026amp; Liveright in 1922, this landmark reissue of the first edition, now back with its original publisher, includes a new introduction by Paul Muldoon, showcasing the poem's searing power and strange, jarring beauty. With a modernist design that matches the original, this edition allows contemporary readers to experience the poem the way readers would have seen it for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Muldoon writes, It's almost impossible to think of a world in which \u003cem\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/em\u003e did not exist. So profound has its influence been not only on twentieth-century poetry but on how we've come to view the century as a whole, the poem itself risks being taken for granted. Famously elliptical, wildly allusive, at once transcendent and bleak, \u003cem\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/em\u003e defined modernity after the First World War, forever transforming our understanding of ourselves, the broken world we live in, and the literature that was meant to make sense of it. In a voice that is arch, ironic, almost ebullient, and yet world-weary and tragic, T. S. Eliot mixes and remixes, drawing on a cast of ghosts to create a new literature for a new world. In the words of Edmund Wilson, Eliot...is one of our only authentic poets...[\u003cem\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/em\u003e is] one triumph after another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.3 x 4.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 16, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758109851936,"sku":"9780871407177","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0aabec0ef665a047b7662110018792bf.webp?v=1780118273","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-waste-land-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
