Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The phrase Unreal city is borrowed from Charles Baudelaire’s poem entitled ‘Les septs veillards’. Baudelaire Calls Paris the unreal city and Eliot calls London the unreal city.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eliot utilizes the “Unreal city”, London, as the main setting for “The Wasteland”. The city comes to embody the title of the poem, being portrayed as ugly, cruel and grey, lacking any real human warmth or meaningful connections.
Detailed explanation-3: -He also published three short stories in 1905, “Birds of Prey”, “A Tale of a Whale” and “The Man Who Was King”. The last mentioned story significantly reflects his exploration of Igorot Village while visiting the 1904 World’s Fair of St. Louis.
