Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 2005. vii, 270pp. "One of the twentieth century's most powerful?and controversial?works, The Waste Land was published in the desolate wake of the First World War. This definitive edition of T. S. Eliot's masterpiece presents a new and authoritative version of the poem, along with all the essays Eliot wrote as he was composing The Waste Land, seven of them never before published in book form. The volume is enriched with period photographs and a London map of locations mentioned in the poem. Featured in the book are Lawrence Rainey's groundbreaking account of how The Waste Land came to be composed; a history of the reactions of admirers and critics; and full annotations to the poem and Eliot's essays. The edition transforms our understanding of one of the greatest modernist writers and the magnificent poem that became a landmark in literary history."

I made a few suggestions for omissions and inclusions in a similar collection to be published in London; and out of discussions of such matters with Pound arose the spectre of an introduction by myself. The poems which I wished to include, from among those which the author had omitted, are found together at the back of the book. The order followed throughout the book is, with the exception mentioned, that of original publication of the scattered volumes from which the poems are drawn.' (Quote taken from T. S. Eliot's Introduction) ***First impression of the true first trade edition of "Selected Poems" by the American Modernist poet Ezra Pound. This early publication by Faber & Gwyer is scarce. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
