1922: THE WASTE LAND
The year 1922 represented a turning point for culture. It also marked:- the publication of James Joyce’s Ulysses- the creation of the BBC- the founding of a small production company by a young animator called Walt Disney.THE WASTE LAND expresses the desolation of the post-war world:it expresses both the psychological effects of war on humanity (depression and cynism) and the artist's difficulty in writing about the tragedy of war. Humanity is almost dead: "He who was living is now dead/ We who were living are now dying"

OBJECTIVE CORRELATIVE
Defined by Eliot himself as "A set of objects , a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula of that particular emotion" that a writer seeks to evoke in the reader.
Poetry must be objective and impersonal.Eliot doesn't describe an emotion but presents the object(s) and the action(s) in such a way that the emotion is produced in the reader.
