Published for the very first time in Seven Parts By Viperslair.co.uk 13/2/2005 ___________________________________________________________________________ John Moores University MCCLT324 Modernism Assessment Tutor: P. Childes T.S. Eliot 'The Waste Land': New beginnings or the same old song ? A Five
Thousand Word Essay Mr P. Brownlow Summer 1997
________________________________________ Viperslair.co.uk hope you are as entertained as educated by the following publication. It is a fabulous trip, and I do mean trip, into the very essence of our perceptions and values. We are sorry for its long delay & may one day tell the tale behind the publication of this text. We think you'll find it worth the wait. The author plays a lot of tricks upon the reader often leaving them with more questions than answers, but ultimatly leaves them better informed than when they began. The form of the text itself is a parody of its subject matter and as such it should be noted that the essay departs from the usual conformities of an academic text and edges into the realms of artistic format, again a parody of the Modernist ideology of its subject matter. The author also rescues the Modernist icon Winston Smith from George Orwell's book '1984' whilst conducting a detailed and highly amusing character assaination on not just one of Modernists most noted standard barers, but also one of English Literatures most respected representatives. Those who are studying English Literature & T.S. Eliot in particular should find this text not just merley interesting and entertaining but also imense help as there is an exhustive biblography included. One last word; the authour would like it know that he was under the influence of cannabis while he wrote the entire text. He wishes it to be known that he intented that the reader should also be under the influence of cannabis while reading his work. We leave it to you to make your own choice about following his advice. We hope you enjoy this rather unique work and find it as inspiring and as educating as we did. Viper 13/2/2005 __________________________________________ __________________________________________
