Murder in the Cathedral, written for the Canterbury Festival on 1935, was the first high point on T. S. Eliot's dramatic achievement. It remains one of the great plays of the century. Like Greek drama, its theme and form are rooted in religion and ritual purgation and renewal, and it was this return to the earliest sources of drama that brought poetry triumphantly back to the English stage.

A triumph of poetic genius. - New Yorker --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

About the Author

Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888–1965) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and became a British subject in 1927. The acclaimed poet of The Waste Land, Four Quartets, and Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, among numerous other poems, prose, and works of drama, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948. He recast twentieth-century English poetry with a new vocabulary of technique, giving voice to a bold, vibrantly original Modernist style. In addition to his poetry, his body of work includes many landmark critical essays, as well as plays. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.

One of my favourite dramas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 20, 2013

I first came across Murder in the Cathedral at college around 1950 and of course then had a copy. Over the years and a few moves the copy disappeared. I moved on to his Four Quartets and forgot the pl;ay. Then about three weeks ago I found that it was being put on in a local church and went. Suddenly it all flowed back - the pleasure that his alnguage has always given me and the depth of his ubderstanding of the many layers of human life. I go to a U3A playreading group and it was my turn to go to the library and choose the next play. I went, thinking it would not be there but it was. With some trepidation I chose it. To my delight the rest od the group found it a strong and welcome experience, both emotionally and intellectually. There were not quite enough copies for us all, so I came to Amazon for the extra two . Apart from the convenience , I am so delighted to have this masterpiece on my shelves again. If anyone wants to get some of the real taste of it.I would vertainly suggest getting a group together to explore its depths. It is essentially about a diverse community responding to a crisis, and I think it needs to be read in company.

Sorry, I must be a Philistine.

I'm sure to many this book is worldly and beautifully written but in my estimation it is dire, and I'm only finishing the book because of how much I paid for it.
