Voices & Visions: T.S. Eliot
0
Overview
T. S. Eliot has been considered by many to be the leading American poet of this century. His contemporaries in the 1920s recognized in âThe Waste Landâ an expression of the exhaustion and fragmentation that afflicted so many in that post-war era. They also recognized the originality of Eliotâs poetic technique and admired his insistence on the need for spiritual values in an age of popular kitsch.
