T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land
Event Details
In this early Springtime study we will read T.S. Eliot’s groundbreaking modernist poem The Waste Land. Over the course of five weeks we will celebrate the poem’s complexity, dig into its intertextuality and – above all – observe how it resonates with us today.
Questions we might consider include: ‘How does this poem present modernity?’, ‘How does it explore the concepts of waste and the environment?’, ‘Is it a product of gritty realism or sublime mysticism?’ and, last but not least, ‘Why does it endure?’
JOINING DETAILS:
- Five-week study on Zoom led by Karina Jakubowicz
- 5 April -3 May, Sunday evenings 6.00-8.00 pm (UK)
- £200 for five two-hour meetings
