Poems
by T. S. Eliot
'Poems' Summary
This collection offers a glimpse into T.S. Eliot's formative years as a poet. The poems, primarily written in English but with some French and lines in Latin and Italian, reflect Eliot's burgeoning artistic voice. Themes of disillusionment, the search for identity in a modern world, and the impact of tradition on the individual are prominent. "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," a poignant exploration of social anxiety and existential dread, is included, as is "The Waste Land," a sprawling poem that captures the post-war sense of disillusionment and fragmentation. Eliot's characteristic blend of intellectuality and emotional depth is evident throughout, offering readers a nuanced exploration of the human condition.Book Details
