The Waste Land at 100

Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022, 10:00 am - 2:30 pm
Location: Ira Raymond Exhibition Room, Barr Smith Library

For 100 years, T. S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land' has stood at the pinnacle of modern poetic achievement in the English language: by turns baffling, seducing, electrifying, alienating, and engaging generations of readers. What does it mean to read the poem today? How have changing critical fashions altered the reception of a work once considered essential? Who teaches it anymore? What aspects seem to have aged poorly; what ones well? Where is its influence being felt today? Over the course of the day, we will probe the lasting significance of a masterpiece still as controversial as it is unavoidable.
