"This thesis is to be a study of poetic drama from 1900 to 1940 with attention directed to plays that were written for production during the last ten years in particular. The dramas to be considered here are limited to those in the English language; but as they all fall naturally into three groups according to the nation which saw their birth, separate accounts will be given of the genre in England, Ireland and America. For purposes of comparison an historical survey of the beginnings and development of English poetic drama will precede the more detailed evidence presented on this century's output. [...]" --

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
