S. Eliot's The Waste Land (1922), and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I highlight the 2022 Second Norton Critical Edition titled T. S. Eliot: The Waste Land and Other Poems, edited by Michael North of UCLA. I cover the following parts of the 2022 Second Norton Critical Edition: the text of The Waste Land (pp. 43-60; and the "Notes," pp. 61-66), North's "Introduction" (pp. xvii-xxvi), the "Contexts" section (pp. 67-170), the "Criticism" section (pp. 171-336), "T. S. Eliot: A Chronology" (pp. 337-339), and the categorized "Selected Bibliography" (pp. 341-345). I also highlight certain aspects of the work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955). In addition, I discuss the account of Menippean satire developed by the James Joyce specialist and media ecology theorist Eric McLuhan (1942-2018; Ph.D. in English, University of Dallas, 1982). In passing, I briefly discuss Pope Francis' 2015 eco-encyclical.enT. S. Eliot, Michael North, Walter J. Ong, Eric McLuhan, Pope FrancisScholarly Text or Essay
