Publisher's Synopsis
"The Waste Land and Other Poems in this international centenary edition presents one of the twentieth century's most influential poetic works, first published in 1922, in the aftermath of a world war and global pandemic. The layout is simple and easy to read, based on both the original Hogarth Press edition, produced by Leonard and Virginia Woolf, and the American Boni & Liveright design. These poems have wide emotional range and resonance, and in the foreword QIU Xiaolong, a bestselling detective novelist and acclaimed translator and poet, explains how he, as a student in China, came to love Eliot's poetry, and what it has meant, and means today, to readers around the world. There is an afterword by Berkshire's CEO Karen Christensen, who worked for Valerie Eliot, the poet's second wife, as a young editor"--.
