This essential volume contains Eliot's greatest work - some say the greatest work of all modernist literature - together with his compendium Prufrock and Other Observations as well as Poems- twelve works including 'Gerontion'; 'Burbank with a Baedeker': 'Bleistein with a Cigar'; and 'A Cooking Egg'. Published in 1922 ‘The Waste Land' was the most revolutionary poem of its time offering a devastating vision of modern civilisation which has lost none of its power as we enter a new century. A selection of some of the classic poems considered a major achievement in twentieth century modernist poetry. Includes the masterpieces 'The Wasteland' 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' and 'Portrait of a Lady'. By Thomas Stearns Eliot - a poet dramatist and literary critic who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948.
