Download or read book Murder in the Cathedral written by T. S. Eliot and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

NEVER A DULL MOMENT." --Library Journal The Camden-sur-Mer retirement community on California's Gold Coast is riding high, thanks to transfers from a rival establishment--the "Geezer Factory." For one newcomer, however, the move is fatal. No sooner does that nice couple, the Goulds, move in than Harold Gould is murdered. So resident sleuths Angela Benbow and Caledonia Wingate set out to investigate a puzzle that begins with ghostbusting at the Geezer Factory.

"Fun, lighthearted, cleverly plotted entertainment . . . A comparison between Sawyer's spry and savvy senior-citizen sleuths and television's inimitable Jessica Fletcher seems almost inevitable." --Booklist

This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2, University of Dusseldorf "Heinrich Heine", course: T. S. Eliot, 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: 1935 is the year of Eliot's writing "Murder in the Cathedral", the first religious verse drama in his career as dramatist. Writing his own critical essay on "Murder in the Cathedral", Eliot focuses on a lot of topics and difficulties, writing a first drama in verse. One of the topics Eliot refers to in his essay "Poetry and Drama" is his reflection on the Women Chorus in "Murder in the Cathedral" and their dramatic function during the play. Reflecting on this topic and giving an answer to the question, if there are other functions, which can be attributed to the Chorus, will be my job in this paper. But before dealing with the actual topic, I will use this introduction, which I consider the first unit of my paper, in order to give you an overview of the units and topics of the paper.
