 T.S. Eliot completed the writing of his poem "The Waste Land" in 1922. It was first published later that same year, in the literary journal The Criterion, which Eliot himself had founded and edited.


"The Waste Land" is a landmark work of modernist poetry, and it reflects many of the major themes and concerns of the early 20th century, including the fragmentation of identity, the loss of traditional values, and the breakdown of social structures. The poem is known for its complex structure, its use of multiple voices and languages, and its allusions to a wide range of literary, cultural, and historical sources.


Since its publication, "The Waste Land" has been widely studied and analyzed, and it is often regarded as one of the most important poems of the 20th century. Eliot went on to have a long and influential career as a writer, critic, and editor, and his work remains a major influence on modern literature and culture.
