David Fischer

2025 Editor's Rating

The Waste Land presents the most groundbreaking poem of the past century to a modern-day audience in the 21st Century. Through a myriad of interactive features, this digital edition sheds light on T. S. Eliot's seminal work.

  • View an extraordinary specially recorded rendition of the entire poem performed by Fiona Shaw, synchronized with the text.
  • Listen to complete audio recitals of the poem, also synchronized with the text, by T. S. Eliot himself (from different periods in his life), Ted Hughes, Alec Guinness, Viggo Mortensen, and Jeremy Irons alongside Eileen Atkins.
  • Delve into the poem’s numerous references and allusions with comprehensive interactive notes for better understanding.
  • Uncover the verse's structure and navigate swiftly between sections with a novel navigation tool.
  • Access over 35 expert video insights on the poem, featuring contributions from luminaries such as Seamus Heaney and Jeanette Winterson.
  • Explore original manuscript pages to witness how Ezra Pound's editing shaped the poem.

This digital rendering maintains the original typography and essence while offering innovative ways to delve into the poem’s significance and influence.

Awarded the Best Adult App at the FutureBook Awards in 2011 and the International Interaction Design Award in 2013.

“As someone coming from the wrong side of the two cultures, Eliot's poem had effectively been closed off to me for decades. Now it isn't, and that in itself would almost justify the price of the iPad that made it possible.” - The Guardian, UK, John Naughton

The Waste Land is a collaborative publication between Faber and Faber, Eliot's longtime publisher in London where he worked for nearly four decades, and RGB. RGB is the creative force behind other groundbreaking interactive iPad books like The Elements and Solar System, which are shaping the future of literature. Interviews and Fiona Shaw's performance are expertly recorded by Adam Low, director of the BBC Arena documentary on Eliot.

The original publication of The Waste Land in 1922 marked a pivotal moment in 20th-century literary history. This edition continues Eliot's legacy and vividly showcases how literature can thrive through the modern digital medium.
