Kublai Khan: "The Wasteland, Prufrock and Other Poems" by T. S. Eliot
(Original review, 1981-05-10)
It seems to me that the author of 'Prufrock' and that of the Wasteland are so different as to be un-recognisable. A look at the Wasteland reveals a lot of, to me, gratuitous classical referencing for which we might like to blame Pound and while I value its novelty (whereas Prufrock reads like Kublai Khan) the Wasteland reads like deliberate pastiche.
