## Description

T. S. Eliot's most famous drama , a retelling of the murder of the archbishop of Canterbury Murder in the Cathedral , written for the Canterbury Festival in 1935, was one of T. S. Eliot’s first dramatic achievements, and it remains one of the great plays of the century. It takes as its subject matter the martyrdom of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, depicting the events that led to his assassination, in his own cathedral church, by the knights of Henry II in 1170. Like Greek drama, the play’s theme and form are rooted in religion, ritual purgation and renewal, and it was this return to the earliest sources of drama that brought poetry triumphantly back to the English stage at the time. "The theatre is enriched by this poetic play of grave beauty and momentous decision." — The New York Times

Review: Literary masterpiece - I had heard of this title, but didn't realize it was a play on the martyrdom of Becket. Only T. S. Eliot would recover some debate Greek tragedy format! Lol! T. S. Eliot is really only for those who love literature and have read much of it, because he constantly alludes to his wide experience of reading literature. In the end, some beautiful food for thought here, a format that really works and a damning condemnation of Anglicanism and the placing of God under King.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Condition, Great Book
*by A***A on February 12, 2014*

The book that arrived was an older edition than the one pictured. It also contained more marginalia and underlining from a previous owner than I expected. However, the play was intact and will also remain an amazingly written classic.
