Alfred Prufrock (1 page); The Waste Land, Sections I (3 pages), II (1 page), III (2 pages), IV (1 page), and V (2 pages). Then comes Four Quartets, including Burnt Norton (1 page), East Coker (2 pages), The Dry Salvages (1 page) and Little Gidding (2 pages). Following this comes a page of "Study Questions" (favorite test questions for teachers of literature) and "Further Reading" indicating many titles of literary criticism on T.S. Eliot's poetry.
