About this audiobook
The Waste Land is T. S. Eliot's Modernist masterpiece, first published in 1920. Rich in allusions to Shakespeare, Dante, Baudelaire, the Bible, Marvell, Buddha, and the folklore of the Holy Grail, among other sources, the poem emphasizes the fundamental fragmentation and lack of connection that characterizes modern life and relationships. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I love the Wasteland and T.S. Eliot is perhaps my favorite poet...however not this particular recording. There are many great recordings of Eliot reading Wasteland and also one with Jeremy Irons. This version, called 'version three' isn't bad, in fact the reader has a nice soft cadence, but this is a victim of competition.
