The Waste Land, probably T.S. Eliot’s most famous poem, was published in 1922. “I very much hope you like the poem, as it seems to me the best I have ever done.”
Full of classical and cultural references,
this poem can be viewed as a hymn to the desolation and loss in the
aftermath of WWI, but it has great humour and brings a sense of promise
and hope to the bleakest of images. The evening will include a
contextual preamble to The Waste Land and T.S. Eliot with Nat and director Giles Taylor.
