Recenzii

“Extraordinarily stimulating... Reading ‘The Waste Land’ is a brilliant enactment as well as demonstration of the proposition that the act of reading is a series of strategic decisions instituted by the reader, and that ‘the value of interpretation is related more to something gained en route than to something waiting at the end.’ The sheer lucidity of this book grounding its reading of the text as it does in insights about reading it, makes it the single most important study of Eliot to have appeared in the last twenty years. It is essential reading.”—Southern Review 
“Integrates the poet’s philosophical concerns with a coherent reading of The Waste Land that is both brilliant and persuasive. The authors guide us through the poem line by line, taking into account an impressive number of previous interpretations.... Of particular importance to Eliot scholars.. The book is [also] of compelling interest to the rest of us, the many who teach The Waste Land... for whom the book will be of great use as the single volume that we can turn to for a comprehensive account of that difficult poem. This combination of scholarly importance and pedagogical interest is a rare accomplishment indeed.”—American Literature 
“Written by two independent critics, each with a distinct and well-formulated view of Eliot, his work, and the modern period in general, this book achieves a unity of style and point of view, together with a felicity of expression that are both a surprise and a delight.”—South Atlantic Review
