Download The Waste Land and Other Poems AudioBook Free
'The Waste material Land' is a landmark in 20th-century poetry. Here it is read by the past due Poet Laureate Ted Hughes. Published in 1922, it is an excellent exploration of a faithless, immoral modern culture trying to rebuild itself following the devastation of the Great War. Abundant with literary references and steeped in allusive and evocative imagery, 'The Waste material Land' is widely considered to be the pinnacle of modernist poetry. This audiobook also contains a few of Eliot's other poems, including 'The Love Tune of J. Alfred Prufrock', 'Sweeney On the list of Nightingales', 'Ash Wednesday' and 'Quest of the Magi'. Thomas Stearns Eliot was created in St Louis, Missouri, in 1888. He arrived to Britain in 1914 and posted his first booklet of poems in 1917. He received the Nobel Award in Literature in 1948. Eliot passed on in 1965. Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was created in Yorkshire. His first booklet, The Hawk in the Rainfall, was posted by Faber and Faber and was followed by many amounts of poetry and prose for people and children, including River (1983). He received the Whitbread Publication of the Year for both Stories from Ovid (1997) and Birthday Characters (1998). He was Poet Laureate from 1984, and in 1998 he was appointed to the Order of Merit.
