Offers fresh commentary on T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, a book of modernist poetry published in 1922. It aims to be both a part-by-part analysis of the poem with periodic summations and a meditation on the limits of interpretation and the problematic nature of reading in the late 20th century.

This study of modernism as a cultural and literary phenomenon looks at some of the key figures behind Eliot's modernism - Mallarme, Frazer, F.H. Bradley and T.E. Hulme - to provide insight on his major poems. It presents background for connecting high modernism to 19th-century philosophy.
