T.S.Eliot ’s The Waste Land? Faith and belief‚ or the lack of it‚ has always played a major part in T.S. Eliot’s canon; perhaps more than any other Modernist writer‚ Eliot reflects the zeitgeist that was described by Spears Brooker (1994) as “characterized by a collapse of faith in human innate goodness and in the inevitability of progress.” (Brooker Spears‚ 1994‚ p.61) To this end‚ this paper looks at how such issues are represented in Eliot’s early work The Waste Land (1989) that‚ as we shall
