Introduction by Mary Karr
 
First published in 1922, &;The Waste Land,&; T. S. Eliot&;s masterpiece, is not only one of the key works of modernism but also one of the greatest poetic achievements of the twentieth century. A richly allusive pilgrimage of spiritual and psychological torment and redemption, Eliot&;s poem exerted a revolutionary influence on his contemporaries, summoning forth a potent new poetic language. As Kenneth Rexroth wrote, Eliot &;articulated the mind of an epoch in words that seemed its most natural expression.&; As commanding as his verse, Eliot&;s criticism also transformed twentieth-century letters, and this Modern Library edition includes a selection of Eliot&;s most important essays.
