The Waste Land
Price range: $350.00 through $1,850.00
The Waste Land, though written nearly a century ago, is more relevant today than ever. Written in the shadow of the first World War, the poem captures the very essence of the transformed landscape and the radically altered society of the 20th century.
We are lucky to celebrate this poem with an original monograph by Sravani Sen-Das, a scholar of Eliot who, perhaps more than anyone, has experienced the poem’s power over the course of her lifetime. Born in Mumbai, India, Sen-Das grew up with Eliot’s work, which built a literary bridge for her between East and West. With this unique perspective, she makes the case for The Waste Land as a work of unifying literature.
