Studies in English Literature (Japan) (1992): This combination of scholarly importance and pedagogical interest is a rare accomplishment indeed.” Of particular importance to Eliot scholars, Reading The Waste Land is 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. The authors guide us through the poem line by line, taking into account an impressive number of previous interpretations. “ Reading The Waste Land integrates the poet’s philosophical concerns with a coherent reading of 'The Waste Land' that is both brilliant and persuasive. 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. gets sick and dies at the end of the novel, he does so having learned that to live as an island unto oneself, even an island filed with books, is not to live fully.
