About “The hollow men”
"The Hollow Men" (1925) is a poem by T. S. Eliot, a modernist writer. The poem explores themes such as hopelessness and the aftermath of World War I, reflecting the uncertainty of postwar Europe under the Treaty of Versailles. It also touches on religious conversion and redemption. Some critics suggest the poem may reflect Eliot's failing marriage. The poem was published two years before Eliot converted to Anglicanism.
