Eliot's \u003ci\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/i\u003e, a book of modernist poetry published in 1922. It aims to be both a part-by-part analysis of the poem with periodic summations and a meditation on the limits of interpretation and the problematic nature of reading in the late 20th century. Bringing both Eliot's philosophical writings and contemporary theory to their interpretation, the authors aim to demonstrate that in his early essays and poems, Eliot anticipated by over 50 years basic insights of contemporary theory. Using \u003ci\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/i\u003e as their reference point, they clarify the manner in which modernist texts both insist upon and defeat interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40868150607969,"sku":"9780870238031","price":38.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_38128839.jpg?v=1776173826","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780870238031-reading-the-waste-land","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
