Introduction by Mary Karr
Â
First published in 1922, â€œThe Waste Land,â€ T. S. Eliotâ€™s masterpiece, is not only one of the key works of modernism but also one of the greatest poetic achievements of the twentieth century. A richly allusive pilgrimage of spiritual and psychological torment and redemption, Eliotâ€™s poem exerted a revolutionary influence on his contemporaries, summoning forth a potent new poetic language. As Kenneth Rexroth wrote, Eliot â€œarticulated the mind of an epoch in words that seemed its most natural expression.â€ As commanding as his verse, Eliotâ€™s criticism also transformed twentieth-century letters, and this Modern Library edition includes a selection of Eliotâ€™s most important essays.
