This is a repeating event- Event 1 / 414 April 2025 6:00 pm
'April is the cruellest month'
Event Details
In this Springtime study we will read T.S. Eliot’s groundbreaking modernist poem The Waste Land. Over the course of four weeks we will celebrate the poem’s complexity, dig into its intertextuality and (above all) observe how it resonates with us today.
Questions we might consider include: ‘How does this poem present modernity?’, ‘How does it explore the concepts of waste and the environment?’, ‘Is it a product of gritty realism or sublime mysticism?’ and, last but not least, ‘Why does it endure?’
