About this book

Few writers reshaped modern verse as completely as T. S. Eliot, and this collection gathers the early poems that made his name. It brings together Prufrock and Other Observations, the 1920 Poems, and The Waste Land, the fragmented masterpiece that gave voice to a civilization shaken by war. Eliot writes in a restless, allusive style, splicing overheard conversation with myth, hymn, and music hall song, and threading loneliness and spiritual thirst through every line. From the hesitant J. Alfred Prufrock to the ruined ground of The Waste Land, these poems ask how meaning survives in a broken century. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available here.
