Welcome to my second lecture on T.S. Eliot’s Modernist Masterpiece - “The Waste Land”.
Here’s the link to the first part of this lecture:

Back by popular demand! In this new video, I continue my detailed analysis of T.S. Eliot’s- mountain-like, super-difficult and super-annoying poem- The Waste Land.
Like the first video of this series, which was a success, with many of you watching and engaging with the content, in the second part I will try to make Eliot’s poem more comprehensible, approachable, less obscure and totally fun.
This time I’ll cover the following topics about the poem in my tutorial:
1. More general observations about the text
2. The contribution of Ezra Pound in editing & publishing this masterpiece.
3. The epigraph of the poem.
4. How is it a modernist work?
5. How is modernism different but related to the idea of modernity? And how Eliot expressed this relation in “The Waste Land”.
If you found the first video insightful, this one is sure to enrich your understanding even further. Don’t miss out on this detailed analysis!”
