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. Unsurprisingly, The Waste Land is considered by many to be the most influential poetical work of the Twentieth Century.
