A Rare Recording of TS Elliot

By: T. S. Elliot

Narrated by: T. S. Elliot

Hear actual recordings of T.S. Eliot narrating his 1922 masterpiece “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and “The Waste Land.” Thomas Stearns Eliot (September 26, 1888 - January 4, 1965) was a US-born British poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, literary critic and editor. Considered one of the 20th century's major literary figures, he is a central figure in English-language Modernist poetry. Through his trials in language, writing style, and verse structure, he reinvigorated English poetry and, in 1948, was honored with the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The Wasteland is not the original TS Eliot recording.

I had the original Wasteland full recording by T.S. Eliot on cassette tape years back, so I was thrilled when I thought I found it here. I’m disappointed that I wasted my credit on this. The Wasteland only has bits and pieces of TS Eliot with other narrators thrown in. I feel the sample and description were extremely misleading.
