| Article Name : | | | THE WASTE LAND BY T. S. ELIOT : AN OVERVIEW | | Author Name : | | | Sandeep Kumar | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-3397 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | The Waste Land is an essay in creating a poem on grand scale out of the vision of a devitalized world, a world that has denied the spiritual life. The poem affords a terrifying picture of a phantasmagoria of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history seen through the eyes of an impersonal observer, Tiresias. Actually, The Waste Land is located nowhere and it is present everywhere in the minds of the individuals. It is the spiritual Waste land of you and I presented in a number of frustrated sexual images signifying death. It is a cosmic vision into the immense panorama of futility and anarchy that is modern civilization. The poem is full of broken images which is also the state of modern civilization. Here, Eliot describes an age without purpose being haunted by fear. | | Keywords : | | |
