In this study, first published in 1983, Professor Smith makes the
argument that although The Waste Land is analogous in form to a
musical composition that it is actually made of its literary
echoes. He calls these a 'music of allusions' and shows the
resemblance of this music in its evocativeness to the technique of
Mallarme and the French symbolists. Smith also comments extensively
on Eliot's critical theories as they bear on The Waste Land and
traces the development of Eliot's allusive and transformational
poetic form from its genesis in early work. This title will be of
interest to students of literature.
