A Summary of The Waste Land by T.S Eliot
Dr Oliver Tearle, an English lecturer at Loughborough University, discusses the key themes within The Waste Land, the most prominent of which is the breakdown – the breakdown of marriages and relationships, psychological breakdowns, the breakdown of poetry and language, and even the breakdown of an entire world.
Essentially, the poem looks at the affect which the First World War has had on civilisation – the only escape of which, is death. It’s a sobering concept, and one which T.S. Eliot addresses by drawing upon lots of cultural references and shifting abruptly between speakers, locations and times – all of which work to create a unique and obscure poem.
Unsurprisingly, The Waste Land is considered by many to be the most influential poetical work of the Twentieth Century.

T. S. Eliot's lengthy poem The Waste Land speaks eloquently to the fragmented and confused years of the early 20th century. It was a period characterized by war, increasing urbanization, and a resulting sense of alienation felt by many.
Rife with surreal imagery and references to myth and legend, the poem nonetheless evokes a distinctly contemporary sensibility.
Its narrative is intentionally incoherent, jumping from scene to unrelated scene. This suggests the lack of purpose felt by many in the conflicted time during which it was written.
Eliot nonetheless finds terrible beauty in this barren new world—a woman's flaming hair spells out words in the air, music drifts over a desolate landscape. The poem grasps for meaning in an increasingly meaningless universe.
American poet T. S. Eliot’s poem The Waste Land was first published in 1922, against a backdrop of domestic unhappiness, illness, and money worries in the Eliot household. The world’s most celebrated modern poem, it is a keystone of modernist verse.
The poem The Waste Land contains many enduring themes, including ennui and promiscuity, as The Waste Land is filled with bored, apathetic, and physically drained people; self-sacrifice, as the antidote to ennui is self-sacrifice, which is evoked through the many images of trial and tribulation; and foresight and clairvoyance, as foresight is the alternative to that apathetic state, where the struggles of the present prevent the individual from moving forward and from thinking about and planning for the future. Important symbols include the waste land as symbolic landscape and as a sick/corrupt body.

Video transcript:
The Waste Land is a poem of breakdown - psychological breakdowns, a breakdown of marriages and relationships, of poetry and language, the breakdown even of an entire world. The carnage of the First World War had laid waste to Europe and made a mockery of the idea of civilization. After the war, Eliot's poem seems to ask, how can poetry respond to the mess the world has become? First published in 1922 The Waste Land is full of people sleepwalking through their daily lives the commuters travelling to work over London Bridge put the poem's speaker in mind of the swarms of tormented souls in hell.
Once the young typist has finished her unsatisfactory encounter with her acne face lover she simply smooths hair back and puts a record on - nothing to see here nothing gained, nothing. Life has become mechanical emptied of meaning, the epigraph from the Roman satirist Petronius which opens the poem tells of the Sybil from ancient Greek mythology who was doomed to eternal life but not eternal youth - trapped in her cage she prefigures all of the metaphorical prisoners of Eliot's poem when asked what she wants, the Sybil replies I want to die.
Elliot's poem is full of cultural references to other now long dead civilizations and their works of literature there are nods to ancient Greek myth to the age of Shakespeare in amongst the depictions of the modern world. At one point we found ourselves in London's East End in a pub where a woman is talking to a friend about a marriage and then suddenly we're back to Shakespeare again as a women are leaving the pub their speech merges with the words of Ophelia, that doomed Shakespearean heroin who went mad and drowned herself perhaps Elliot's poem seems to be saying death is the only real escape from the Waste Land.
The Waste Land presents a highly eloquent account of despair, its powerful vision of urban alienation spoke to a generation of young post-war readers and in doing so, it changed poetry forever. Eliot found a whole new language of poetry in the everyday world of motorcars and tinned food, jazz records, pub conversations, he complained that one of the first reviewers of the poem had over understood it, but really we're still seeking to understand it, we probably always will be. But then that's often the mark of a great work of literature like the characters in Eliot's poem, we can never truly leave the waste land behind.

Understanding Poetry | The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot
The Waste Land is a poem by T. S. Eliot, widely regarded as one of the most important poems of the 20th century and a central work of modernist poetry. The 434-line poem first appeared in in December 1922. Among its famous phrases are "April is the cruellest month", "I will show you fear in a handful of dust", and the mantra in the Sanskrit language "Shantih shantih shantih"
Eliot's poem combines the legend of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King with vignettes of contemporary British society. Eliot employs many literary and cultural allusions from the Western canon, Buddhism and the Hindu Upanishads. The poem shifts between voices of satire and prophecy featuring abrupt and unannounced changes of speaker, location, and time and conjuring a vast and dissonant range of cultures and literatures.

Download the free study guide for The Waste Land here: https://www.coursehero.com/lit/The-Waste-Land/
T. S. Eliot's lengthy poem The Waste Land speaks eloquently to the fragmented and confused years of the early 20th century. It was a period characterized by war, increasing urbanization, and a resulting sense of alienation felt by many.
Rife with surreal imagery and references to myth and legend, the poem nonetheless evokes a distinctly contemporary sensibility.
Its narrative is intentionally incoherent, jumping from scene to unrelated scene. This suggests the lack of purpose felt by many in the conflicted time during which it was written.
Eliot nonetheless finds terrible beauty in this barren new world—a woman's flaming hair spells out words in the air, music drifts over a desolate landscape. The poem grasps for meaning in an increasingly meaningless universe.
American poet T. S. Eliot’s poem The Waste Land was first published in 1922, against a backdrop of domestic unhappiness, illness, and money worries in the Eliot household. The world’s most celebrated modern poem, it is a keystone of modernist verse.
The poem The Waste Land contains many enduring themes, including ennui and promiscuity, as The Waste Land is filled with bored, apathetic, and physically drained people; self-sacrifice, as the antidote to ennui is self-sacrifice, which is evoked through the many images of trial and tribulation; and foresight and clairvoyance, as foresight is the alternative to that apathetic state, where the struggles of the present prevent the individual from moving forward and from thinking about and planning for the future. Important symbols include the waste land as symbolic landscape and as a sick/corrupt body.
