The Waste Land: Authoritative Text, Contexts, Criticism

The Waste Land: Authoritative Text, Contexts, Criticism (Norton Critical Editions)

The text of Eliotâ€™s 1922 masterpiece is accompanied by thorough explanatory annotations as well as by Eliotâ€™s own knotty notes, some of which require annotation themselves.
For ease of reading, this Norton Critical Edition presents The Waste Land as it first appeared in the American edition (Boni & Liveright), with Eliotâ€™s notes at the end. "Contexts" provides readers with invaluable materials on The Waste Landâ€™s sources, composition, and publication history. "Criticism" traces the poemâ€™s reception with twenty-five reviews and essays, from first reactions through the end of the twentieth century. Included are reviews published in the Times Literary Supplement, along with selections by Virginia Woolf, Gilbert Seldes, Edmund Wilson, Elinor Wylie, Conrad Aiken, Charles Powell, Gorham Munson, Malcolm Cowley, Ralph Ellison, John Crowe Ransom, I. A. Richards, F. R. Leavis, Cleanth Brooks, Delmore Schwartz, Denis Donoghue, Robert Langbaum, Marianne ThormÃ¤hlen, A. D. Moody, Ronald Bush, Maud Ellman, and Tim Armstrong. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are included.
