Documentary "The Waste Land" by TS Eliot (1987)

Read by renowned actors Michael Gough, Edward Fox and Eileen Atkins, TS Eliot's The Waste Land powerfully expresses the disillusionment and disgust of post-World War I Europe. In this program, Professor Frank Kermode, from the University of Cambridge; Eliot's biographer, Peter Ackroyd; and poets Sir Stephen Spender and Craig Raine examine the complex nature of Eliot's influential poem, analyze its appeal, and trace why it became one of the best-known emblems of the 20th century.
