    Here, for the first time, is a fully scrutinized text of Eliot's poems, carefully restoring accidental omissions and removing textual errors that have crept in over the full century in which Eliot has been so frequently printed and reprinted. The edition also presents many poems from Eliot's youth which were published only decades later, as well as others that saw only private circulation in his lifetime, of which dozens are collected for the first time. The first volume respects Eliot's decisions by opening with his Collected Poems 1909-1962 in the form in which he issued it, shortly before his death fifty years ago. There follow in this first volume the uncollected poems from his youth that he had chosen to publish, along with such other poems as could be considered suitable for publication. The Poems of T. S. Eliot is a work of enlightening scholarship that will delight and inform all those who read Eliot for pleasure, as well as all those who read with pleasure and for study. Here are a new accuracy and an unparalleled insight into the marvels and landmarks from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Waste Land through to Four Quartets.

    Describing The Temple as ... 'not simply a collection of poems but ... a record of the spiritual struggles of a man of intellectual power and emotional intensity who gave much toil to perfecting his verses ...' T.S. Eliot considered Herbert's religious verse above John Donne's and placed him firmly in the ranks of the great English poets.

    Widely regarded as "The Poem of the Century, "The Waste Land is an "infinitely mysterious poem," which, according to John Xiron Cooper, "is a poem we have learned to handle, but not a poem, we have tamed." It is true that publication of the poem marked a watershed moment in the history of British poetry. Soon after its appearance, first in the inaugural volume of The Criterion (October 1922), a quarterly British literary magazine, founded and edited by Eliot himself, in London, and next in the American publication The Dial in New York (November 1922), the poem came to be regarded as one of the seminal works of modernist poetry, and Eliot as a very important literary figure of the time. Eliot earned the Dial Award of $2,000.It is important to note that The Waste Land has no definite structure. It is a poem that does not have a plot. Nor does it have a beginning nor an end. The poetic fragments mirror the fragmentation of life in the cities of Europe, devastated by World War I. It can be termed as "a heap of broken images," a poem, as asserted by Harold Munro, "a potpourri of descriptions and episodes." Since the poem is based on Tiresias's visions which come to him in spurts, The Waste Land seems to be fragmented or disjointed. The reader is expected to string all these fragments together to derive meaning.The Waste Land is also a multi-voiced poem, it has a multitude of voices, voices spoken in Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, German, and Italian. It is also richly allusive and polyvocal. It alludes to several texts such as Ovid's Metamorphoses, Dante's Divine Comedy, Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal, Shakespeare, Buddhism, Hindu Upanishad and others. The mind-boggling allusiveness and profundity of the text just went over the heads of his readers, who were initially baffled by a string of quotations and reference to a variety of sources in multiple languages like Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian and Sanskrit. They could hardly grasp Eliot's 'aesthetics' of fragmentation and juxtaposition, which can be taken as an inextricable part of the poem's symbolic significance.The Waste Land is basically a peopled landscape; many characters, several of whom are women, roam around freely in the wasteland. It is interesting to note that "all the women are one woman, and the two sexes meet in Tiresias." All these women have their own individual story to narrate, their own voice for people to listen to. Such women like Marie, a niece and confidante of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks, Lil, the mother-of-five whose unhappy marriage is discussed by her friend in a London pub, the fortune-teller Madame Sosostris, the typist girl, who is "bored and tired," the nymphs, who happened to be the friends of the loitering heirs of city directors vary from each other in terms of their age, class, educational level or socio-economic status.The Waste Land is fragmented into five sections: 'The Burial of the Dead,' 'A Game of Chess', 'The Fire Sermon,' 'Death by Water' and 'What the Thunder Said.'

    " 'I am a poet, ' he said, and one, I hope, of no mean imagination, if one can reckon at all by crowns of honour, which gratitude can set even on unworthy heads. 'Why are you so badly dressed, then?' you ask. For that very reason. The worship of genius never made a man rich." -Petronius, Satyricon (54 AD) The Sacred Wood-Essays on Poetry and Criticism (1920) is T. S. Eliot's first book of criticism. It contains opinions of writers such as Shakespeare and Dante and some of Eliot's most influential essays, including Tradition and the Individual Talent and Philip Massinger.

    "Prufrock and Other Observations" is Eliot's first poetry collection. Comprising 12 poems and built on breath-taking imagery and allusion, each poem showcases Eliot's talent not just as a Poet but as a keen observer of the human condition. And, no poem says this better than "The Love song of J. Alfred Prufrock".In this introspective poem, Prufrock is all of us, with fears, regrets, and inhibitions. In "Prufrock", Eliot questions mortality, the meaning of life, indecision, worries, failures, and the need to fit in. To love and have the object of our affection love us back.What T. S. Eliot does in this poem is nothing short of therapeutic. It is one that will force you to look deep within yourself and answer the important questions.Prufrock asks, "Do I dare, disturb the universe?"If this a question you've often asked, perhaps after this poem you'll find the courage to answer it.

    Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) is a collection of poems by T.S. Eliot. Published following the successful appearance of ¿The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock¿ in the June 1915 issue of Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, Prufrock and Other Observations established Eliot¿s reputation as a leading English poet and pioneering literary Modernist.Opening with ¿The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,¿ the collection begins with an invocation of Dante, whom Eliot saw as an important innovator of a polyphonic, referential poetry capable of interrogating and dramatizing the construction and representation of the self. The poem is written from the perspective of a repressed, despairing middle-aged man who meditates on his relationships with women and the regrets he has accumulated with age. In ¿Preludes,¿ a poem of urban malaise, Eliot ¿thinks of all the hands / That are raising dingy shades / In a thousand furnished rooms,¿ and reaches for an understanding of the world as ¿some infinitely gentle / Infinitely suffering thing.¿ Other poems include ¿Morning at the Window,¿ another brief vision of city life, ¿The Boston Evening Transcript,¿ a satirical reverie on time and community, and ¿Cousin Nancy,¿ a humorous lyric celebrating Miss Nancy Ellicott, who unabashedly ¿smoked, / And danced all the modern dances. Both personal and universal, global in scope and intensely insular, Eliot¿s poetry changed the course of literary history, inspiring countless poets and establishing his reputation as one of the foremost artists of his generation.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of T.S. Eliot¿s Prufrock and Other Observations is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

    The Sacred Wood: Essays on Poetry and Criticism (1920) is a collection of essays by T.S. Eliot. Although Eliot is primarily recognized as one of the twentieth century's leading English poets, he was also a prolific and highly influential literary critic. This collection, which includes essays on Algernon Charles Swinburne, Hamlet, William Blake, and Dante, is central to Eliot's legacy and vision of art. In "Tradition and the Individual Talent," Eliot sheds light on his vision of the role of poet with respect to tradition. Well-versed in classical poetry, Eliot possessed a dynamic vision of poetic tradition that viewed the working poet as an extension of those who came before. The role of the poet, then, is to innovate while remaining in conversation with poets throughout history, to remain "impersonal" by surrendering oneself to a process involving countless others. In "Hamlet and His Problems," Eliot provides a critical reading of Shakespeare's iconic tragedy arguing that both the play and its main character fail to accomplish the playwright's true intention. Coining the concept of the "objective correlative," referring to the expression of emotion through a grouping of things or events, Eliot's essay is a landmark in literary scholarship central to the formalist movement known as the New Criticism. Concluding with essays on Blake and Dante, important spiritual and formal forebears for Eliot, The Sacred Wood: Essays on Poetry and Criticism is central to T.S. Eliot's legacy as a leading intellectual and artist of the modern era. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of T.S. Eliot's The Sacred Wood: Essays on Poetry and Criticism is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

    El mayor poema del siglo XX. Además de ser el gran poema del siglo XX, La tierra baldía es una obra esencial para entender nuestro tiempo. Con una dicción y unas imágenes rompedoras, T.S. Eliot sabe cantar la devastación de la primera guerra mundial, la adecuación del hombre a la ciudad como nuevo y definitivo exilio de la naturaleza, el deseo difícil entre mujeres y hombres, y convocar a la vez las voces del pasado literario de Occidente. Pero más allá del intimidante virtuosismo técnico y de la intensidad estética que el poema desata, en estos versos emociona sobre todo la desnuda humanidad que estalla en silencio. Esta nueva edición especial, editada, prologada y traducida por Andreu Jaume, que también nos da su versión de Prufrock, el primer poemario de Eliot y referente indispensable para entender el resto de su poesía, viene a recordarnos la vigencia, la ambición y el ejemplo de un poeta, un crítico y un editor que consiguió crear una nueva visión del mundo contemporáneo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The great poem of the 20th century. In addition to being the great poem of the 20th century, La Tierra Baldía / The Waste Land is an essential piece for understanding our current times. With groundbreaking language and images, T.S. Eliot knows how to narrate the devastation of World War I, man's move and adjustment to the city as a new and definitive exile from nature, the arduous desires between men and women, and at the same time summon the voices from the West's literary past. But beyond the intimidating technical talent and the aesthetic intensity that the poem unleashes, what excites the most in these verses is the raw humanity that explodes in silence. This new special edition, edited, prologued, and translated by Andreu Jaume, who also gives us his version of Prufrock, Eliot's first collection of poems and an essential reference for understanding the rest of his poetry, reminds us of the validity, the ambition, and the example of a poet, a critic, and an editor who managed to create a new vision of the contemporary world.

    Loosely based on the Arthurian legend of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King, "The Waste Land", which first appeared in 1922, is a landmark work of Modernist poetry. Containing hundreds of allusions and quotations from other works, "The Waste Land" is marked by a disjointed structure which moves between voices and imagery without a clear delineation for the reader, a hallmark of Modernist literature. Arguably Eliot's most famous work, the theme of the poem, as the title would suggest, is ultimately a dire one, of disillusionment, despair, and death. Also included in this collection is "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" a work which preceded "The Waste Land" having been first published in 1910. Regarded as the beginning of Eliot's influential period, "Prufrock" was considered idiosyncratic at first but with time has been recognized as an important shift in poetry from the Romantic era to the Modernist one. "The Wasteland and Other Poems", which includes an additional twenty-three poems, collects some of the most pivotal works of the Modernist literary movement, which would establish Eliot as one of the most important poets of the 20th century. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
