چکیده (انگلیسی):

T.S Eliot's The Waste Land is a complicated text rooted in complex Eastern philosophy. His
imagery and characters echo those of which appear in both The Bhagavad Gita and in the
Upanishad. Inspired by his own misfortunes in life, particularly in marriage, Eliot explores the
themes of life and death and asks the reader to explore these themes with him. His use of
Hindu texts in conjunction with his biography makes this poem a true cosmopolitan piece
and a significant contribution to the literary world.
