Reddit reviews The Waste Land: A Facsimile and Transcript of the Original Drafts Including the Annotations of Ezra Pound (A Harvest Special)

It's like a whole book, so not easily postable, but you can get it on the Amazon.

Oh, well if you are actually writing a dissertation than you have a lot more space to work with. When I first read your question I thought this was for an essay; I was trying to dissuade you from trying to write about a huge chunk of the canon in 2000 words.

I am not familiar with every author on your list, but I am with most of them. I'm wondering if you might have to be careful in the works that you choose if you are wanting to talk about modernism and post-modernism. Some of the works that have been suggested, while enormously fascinating, might be difficult to classify as post-modern, unless you are playing fast and loose with the definition of postmodernism or its identifying qualities. I'm thinking particularly of 'Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell,' where the work is essentially a contemporary re-writing of the Victorian novel. On the other hand, the re-writing of history has certain postmodern qualities anyway.

It sounds like an ambitious project and I wish you the best of luck. I would advise caution on The Wasteland, though. Are you sure you can't just omit it? It's a work of poetry after all, and everything else sounds like prose. Do you have one of these? http://www.amazon.ca/The-Waste-Land-Transcript-Annotations/dp/0156948702

As I'm sure you're aware, the development of that poem is a nightmare. I really have no idea how you can reach a concrete explanation for the use of footnotes in it. I feel like that would be a book in itself. The relationship between Eliot, Faber & Faber and Pound is so complicated. Although I heard they published Eliot's letters from that time. I wonder if there are any easy answers in there... Sorry, I'm sort of thinking out loud here.

Also, haven't most of the readings of 'The Wasteland' almost always used the notes? (Fisher King references, etc...I guess it's possible I've read only the old school interpretations) Anyway, if you haven't seen the original manuscript I highly recommend you pick up that book from Amazon. Your project sounds super interesting btw. I'm interested in hearing more about it.
