Introduction by Mary Karr
First published in 1922, The Waste Land, T. S. Eliots 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, Eliots poem exerted a revolutionary influence on his contemporaries, summoning forth a potent new poetic language. As Kenneth Rexroth wrote, Eliot articulated the mind of an epoch in words that seemed its most natural expression. As commanding as his verse, Eliots criticism also transformed twentieth-century letters, and this Modern Library edition includes a selection of Eliots most important essays.
