T.S. Eliot: Into ‘The Waste Land’ BBC2, 9pm
T.S. Eliot (above) believed in the ‘impersonal theory' of poetry, where the writer's personal life had little bearing on their work. However, this documentary argues that his masterpiece
The Waste Land, which is celebrating its centenary, was shaped by Eliot's complex relationships with two women – his first wife Vivien and his first love, confidante and muse, Emily Hale.
