Those who want to study T. S. Eliot's classic poem The Waste Land need the background information from which the poem was written: From Ritual to Romance, by Jessie L. Weston, and the Adonis, Attis, and Osiris chapters from The Golden Bough, by James G. Frazer. This study edition includes them all-along with English translations of all foreign passages in the poem and its notes. An excellent edition for all serious students of T. S. Eliot and his work.
