Dyson stayed on, dividing his genius between quantum mechanics, pure maths, nuclear engineering, space exploration, and game theory (5,800 words)

'The Waste Land' Reviewed

Charles Powell | Guardian | 21st October 2022

The Waste Land is "so much waste paper", declared the The Guardian when it reviewed T.S. Eliot's masterpiece in 1922. The poem was a "mad medley". Lines in other languages, quotations from Shakespeare, even fragments of birdsong, were "thrown in at will or whim". Meaning, if any, was lost behind a "smokescreen of erudition". An ordinary reader should expect to "make nothing of it" (460 words)
