- Editorial Notes
- The Waste Land (1922). Text of the first edition.
- Notes:
- "Jacket design by Laurel Wagner."
- "The published version of 'The Waste Land' was considerably shorter than the original. How it was reduced and edited is clearly revealed on the manuscript through the handwritten notes made upon it by Ezra Pound, by T. S. Eliot himself and by his first wife. In this book each page of the original manuscript has been produced in facsimile and with a superbly clear transcript on the facing page."--Dust jacket.
