About this event

A Virtual Tour

The Waste Land by T S Eliot

Listen to extracts of the famous poem whilst virtually exploring the streets of the City of London.  Seeking out the streets and places that were an inspiration to the poet.

The virtual tour will involve reading of parts of the poem' in and around' areas in the City, particularly 'III The Fire Sermon', which includes street names and places in the Square Mile, all too familiar to T S Eliot.

Some insight and explanation of the poem  will be offered as we explore Eliot's world at the time of writing The Waste Land.

'There will be time .... ' to have some Q&A and discussion at the end of the virtual tour.

'I wandered, O my God, too much astray from Thee my stay,in these days of my youth and I became to myself a waste land.'Confessions of St Augustine - Book II 

TRIP ADVISER REVIEW (S6157CEannet)

A really excellent walk around the City of London with Tina Baxter. Connections with TS Elliot and with specific passages from the poem were explored. It was a thoughtfully crafted and very creative walk - a really enjoyable way to take a different view on the City.

Date of experience: November 2017
