Rainey not only resolves long-standing mysteries surrounding the composition of the poem but also overturns traditional interpretations of the poem that have prevailed for more than eighty years. He shines new light on Eliot's greatest achievement and on the poem's place in the modern canon." "Far from the austere and sober monument to neoclassicism that admirers have praised, The Waste Land turns out to be something quite different: something grim and wild, unruly and intractable, violent and shocking and radically indeterminate, yet also deeply compassionate. Rainey looks at how Eliot went about writing the poem, at the sequence in which the parts of the poem were written, and at what contemporary readers made of it. Discoveries about these aspects of the poem invite discussion of broader issues, including the relations between lyrical poetry and narrative, between modern heroism and modern degradation. Arriving at new insights into the poet's intentions, Rainey unsettles tradition-bound views of the poem and shows us the The Waste Land is even stranger and more startling than we knew."--BOOK JACKET.
