A Myriad of Critical Lenses on The Waste Land

The Cambridge Companion to The Waste Land gathers thirteen essays on diverse topics ranging from T.S. Eliot’s reflection on popular culture to the traumatic effects of the Great War on his personal life, the collaborative effort when composing the poem, the poet’s ecological awareness, his religious vision and the adoption of pastiche. Written in an accessible style, these essays will serve as an invaluable reference book for students and general readers, as well as scholars.
