Reading the Waste Land: Modernism and the Limits of Interpretation

There is no doubt that The Waste Land has been one of the most (if not the most) influential poetical works of this century. As Brooker and Bentley point out, the poem has been a benchmark used by critical schools of thought to illustrate their own strengths and the weaknesses of other schools. Because of this, and because of the poem's lasting place in education and richness of theme and language, The Waste Land has and will endure. Among other things, the authors address problems of interpretation and the reasons why former notions of structure no longer apply to this complex work. Although the subject of the book is dense and multifaceted, the book itself is very readable. A valuable purchase for all academic libraries.
