The Waste Land & Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot




 

No devotee or student of Eliot should be without Paul Scofield’s superlative readings of these two landmark poems.

 

The Waste Land, first published in 1922, is one of Eliot's most influential works and has long been on the syllabus for A-Level English Literature.

 

The Four Quartets consists of four long poems, first published between 1935 and 1942. They are linked by common themes, and are individually 'Burnt Norton', 'East Coker', 'The Dry Salvages' and 'Little Gidding'.

 

Paul Scofield’s consummate renditions of The Waste Land and Four Quartets received huge acclaim when they were originally broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
