Popis: T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land speaks of a fragmentary world and, in itself, amounts to an epitome of fragmentation. This is mainly due to the last ‘stanza’ of the poem and is explicitly demonstrated in line 427, in which ‘fragments’ and ‘ruins’ are related to each other. This poetological analysis examines this very correlation against the backdrop of an earlier handwritten draft of the poem; it assesses variants of its translation, considers thematic contexts, and offers a detailed philologically-based interpretation of this iconic finale to Eliot’s quintessential contribution to literary modernism.
