And it didn't arrive alone

from ice ages to volcanic catastrophes

the Department of War hastily built hundreds of POW camps in the United States

T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land Poetry_Gift_Guide And it didn't arrive aloneThis work argues that although "The Waste Land" demands close reading, the spirit of the old New Criticism works with inappropriate assumptions about unity and closed form. Many critics have tried to fix the text, to find hidden narratives and plots, spiritual guests and allegories of salvation. Instead, this reading sees the poem as resolutely open ended, supporting this view with recent developments in Reader Response criticism and Reception Theory.
