Description
The Waste Land: A Biography of a Poem by Matthew Hollis A century after its publication, T.S. Eliot's masterpiece remains shrouded in mystery. This gripping biography reconstructs the making of 'The Waste Land', weaving together the lives of its key figures - Ezra Pound, Vivien Eliot, and T.S. Eliot himself - to reveal a story of contrasting fates. Eliot's poem was forged from cultural and personal trauma, while Pound's involvement brought a darker edge, and Vivien's struggles with despair. As their paths intersected, the poem took shape, its themes and emotions seeping into the lives of those who shaped it. This is an unforgettable tale of lives passing in opposing directions - Eliot's towards stardom, Vivien's towards darkness, Pound's towards unforgiving isolation.
