Current critical debate discusses contemporary poetry in terms of the Pound‚ Stevens or Williams’ era‚ forgetting T. S.

Artistic self-effacement is essential for great artistic work. He opposed Coleridge who says that a worth of a poet is judged by his personal impressions and feelings.

The poem I am choosing to examine is T.S‚ Eliot ’s The Waste Land emerging from the Modernist poetic movement. The modern movement occurred after World War one (1914-1918).

This conformist side of T.S Eliot is produced prominently
