A Guide to the Selected Poems of T. S. Eliot: Sixth Edition
So if you're going to read Eliot, you really should at least have a perfunctory understanding of his manifold allusions. This is the basic guide that folks use and it's pretty helpful. I've heard the Norton Critical edition (ed. Michael North) is better, but it's harder to get your hands on (it's on order!). Sometimes Southam's notes are annoying; he makes connections that are really not there (like anytime he mentions Joyce, just block him out). However, I do think that you need something to help you with "The Waste Land" and the online sources are even worse. This book corresponds to the Selected Poems (i.e. not Collected Poems) so big chunks of his writing aren't glossed and you're left to scratch your head and mire resentment for Eliot for making everything so damn convoluted. Supposedly, they're coming out with an updated full gloss on the Collected Poems soon, but until then you should at least look at this one if you want to read Eliot. . .and why wouldn't you?
