An exploration of the legacy of The Waste Land on the centenary of
its original publication, looking at the impact it had had upon
criticism and new poetries across one hundred years. T. S. Eliot
first published his long poem The Waste Land in 1922. The
revolutionary nature of the work was immediately recognised, and it
has subsequently been acknowledged as one of the most influential
poems of the twentieth century, and as crucial for the
understanding of modernism. The essays in this collection variously
reflect on The Waste Land one hundred years after its original
publication. At this centenary moment, the contributors both
celebrate the richness of the work, its sounds and rare use of
language, and also consider the poem's legacy in Britain, Ireland,
and India. The work here, by an international team of writers from
the UK, North America, and India, deploys a range of approaches.
Some contributors seek to re-read the poem itself in fresh and
original ways; others resist the established drift of previous
scholarship on the poem, and present new understandings of the
process of its development through its drafts, or as an
orchestration on the page. Several contributors question received
wisdom about the poem's immediate legacy in the decade after
publication, and about the impact that it has had upon criticism
and new poetries across the first century of its existence. An
Introduction to the volume contextualises the poem itself, and the
background to the essays. All pieces set out to review the nature
of our understanding of the poem, and to bring fresh eyes to its
brilliance, one hundred years on. Contributors: Rebecca Beasley,
Rosinka Chaudhuri, William Davies, Hugh Haughton, Marjorie Perloff,
Andrew Michael Roberts, Peter Robinson, Michael Wood.
