The Hollow Men
"The Hollow Men" (1925) is a poem by the modernist writer T. S. Eliot. Like much of his work, its themes are overlapping and fragmentary, concerned with post–World War I Europe under the Treaty of Versailles (which Eliot despised: compare "Gerontion"), hopelessness, religious conversion, redemption and, some critics argue, his failing marriage with Vivienne Haigh-Wood Eliot.See, for instance, the work of one of Eliot's editors and major critics, Ronald Schuchard. It was published two years before Eliot converted to Anglicanism. Divided into five parts, the poem is 98 lines long. Eliot's ''New York Times'' obituary in 1965 identified the final four as "probably the most quoted lines of any 20th-century poet writing in English". Theme and context Eliot wrote that he produced the title "The Hollow Men" by combining the titles of the romance ''The Hollow Land'' by William Morris with the poem "The Broken Men" by Rudyard Kipling; but it is possible that this is one of Eliot's ma ...

The Hollow Men (book)
''The Hollow Men'' is a 2006 book written by Nicky Hager about the election strategies used by the New Zealand National Party during New Zealand's 2005 general election.
