The Waste Land, Prufrock, and Others by T. S. Eliot, Poetry, Drama

PERHAPS THE FINEST POETRY OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURYT.S. Eliot& 39;s position in the literature of the world is unmistakable, largely due to the poems contained within this volume. An American who moved to England, Eliot wrote poems reflecting a deep scholarship and also caught the mood and flavor of a very new time -- all of these poems (and they& 39;re the bulk of the work Eliot did in his lifetime) come from the years just after World War I. Clearly and observably, these poems captured the essence of the hour -- in a very real way, they mark the beginning of a new literary era. Here are three of Eliot& 39;s first published volumes of poetry which first appeared in journals, sponsored partly by the famous poet Ezra Pound. Prufrock and Other Observations published in 1917 contains the poet& 39;s& 34;The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.& 34; Poems, published in 1920, includes& 34;Sweeney and the Nightingales.& 34;
