about

“Prufrock” is as fresh today as when it was first written, and, for better or worse, The Waste Land remains the celebrated poem of its age, a text that may be venerated, despised, rejected or enjoyed, but not ignored. C J Ackerley, author of this superior study guide, is its ideal interpreter, as a celebrated scholar of Modernist and Postmodernist writing.
