  • TS ELIOT's PLAYS and RECEPTION Eliot's
    T.S. ELIOT’s PLAYS and RECEPTION Eliot’s plays, which begin with Sweeney Agonistes (published 1926; first performed in 1934) and end with The Elder Statesman (first performed 1958; published 1959), are, with the exception of Murder in the Cathedral (published and performed 1935), inferior to the lyric and meditative poetry. Eliot’s belief that even secular drama attracts people who unconsciously seek a religion led him to put drama above all other forms of poetry. All his plays are in a blank verse of his own invention, in which the metrical effect is not apprehended apart from the sense; thus he brought “poetic drama” back to the popular stage. The Family Reunion (1939) and Murder in the Cathedral are Christian tragedies—the former a tragedy of revenge, the latter of the sin of pride. Murder in the Cathedral is a modern miracle play on the martyrdom of Thomas Becket. The most striking feature of this, his most successful play, is the use of a chorus in the traditional Greek manner to make apprehensible to common humanity the meaning of the heroic action. The Family Reunion (1939) was less popular. It contains scenes of great poignancy and some of the finest dramatic verse since the Elizabethans, but the public found this translation of the story of Orestes into a modern domestic drama baffling and was uneasy at the mixture of psychological realism, mythical apparitions at a drawing-room window, and a comic chorus of uncles and aunts. After World War II, Eliot returned to writing plays with The Cocktail Party in 1949, The Confidential Clerk in 1953, and The Elder Statesman in 1958.

  • ABSTRACT Human Hagiography: the Saint Figure in Modernist British
    ABSTRACT Human Hagiography: The Saint Figure in Modernist British Literature Denise Galloway Crews, Ph.D. Mentor: Richard Rankin Russell, Ph.D. Somewhat unexpectedly, saints’ lives provided rich material for literary writing in the first half of the 20th century or modernist period. This study examines commonalities in how George Bernard Shaw’s Saint Joan, T. S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral, and Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited interpreted and portrayed saints’ lives and in how they used allusions to the saints to create a particular type of character, what I call the modernist saint figure, and a particular genre, what I call “human” hagiography. Some of these characters are actual saints, but others are fictional characters who possess the traditional characteristics of a medieval saint while bearing the marks of the modernist period. Many authors of the prewar and interwar period seem particularly interested in overturning prejudice against the medieval and the religious, instead appropriating spirituality as a contrary to some tendencies of modern thought and modern society. Specifically, these works often explore spirituality, subjectivity, humanism, compassion, aestheticism, and femininity as opposed to rationalism, legalism, absolutism, ideology, statism, and patriarchy. Although modernists often emphasized newness in all things and the breakdown of civilization, these works do not reject tradition, instead reinterpreting stories and beliefs with an emphasis on artistic innovation and individual authenticity. One of the most interesting aspects of this modernist “hagiography” is that it does not idealize the saint but instead shows his or her moral failure and reluctance towards spiritual commitment. That this reluctance is overcome emphasizes the powerful compulsion of love and compassion in the saint while also establishing ordinariness as necessary for the modernist saint.

  • Murder in the Cathedral, San Diego Opera Reviewed by Charlene Baldridge Reviews 1 Freelance Theater and Music Critic
    Time Present The Newsletter of the T. S. Eliot Society number 80 SUMMER 2013 CONTENTS Murder in the Cathedral, San Diego Opera Reviewed by Charlene Baldridge Reviews 1 Freelance theater and music critic 2013 Conference rom March 30 through April 2, San Diego Opera presented the West Coast premiere of Program 3 FIldebrando Pizzetti’s 1953 opera, Murder in the Cathedral (Assassinio nella Cattedrale), based upon Alberto Castelli’s Italian translation of T. S. Eliot’s 1935 verse play of the same Society Notes 10 name. San Diego audiences heard Murder in the Cathedral in Italian with English supertitles—a roundabout way to receive Eliot’s narrative about the assassination of the Archbishop of Public Sightings 11 Canterbury. The San Diego Opera (SDO) production, staged by SDO general and artistic director Ian Eliot News 11 Campbell, designed by Ralph Funicello, and built in SDO’s scene shop, was so eagerly antici- pated that the national magazine Opera News printed an advance article in its March edition Eliot Bibliography 12 and also, on the day following the opening, posted an online review. The Opera News review and others, including that of The Los Angeles Times, were positive, and a spokesperson at Abstracts 18 San Diego Opera reports that at least two major opera companies are considering their own productions. Eliot Centennials 20 This is an amazing turn of events for an opera largely ignored for more than fifty years. The premiere of Pizzetti’s Murder in the Cathedral took place in 1953 at Milan’s La Scala with bass Nicola Rossi-Lemini as Becket and was followed by what Opera News calls a flurry of productions in Europe and North America, among which were a production in Montreal that fall, a concert version at Carnegie Hall, and a 1960 production at Vienna State Opera conducted by Herbert von Karajan.

  • Research Scholar an International Refereed E-Journal of Literary Explorations
    ISSN 2320 – 6101 Research Scholar www.researchscholar.co.in An International Refereed e-Journal of Literary Explorations A STUDY OF ECOLOGY AS A METAPHOR IN T.S.ELIOT'S THE WASTE LAND Prof. Radhika Subhankar Mukherjee Assistant Professor, Department of English, Dnyanasadhana College, Thane. ABSTRACT T.S.Eliot had been very influential in shaping Modernist Poetry. He was instrumental in bringing about a innovative change in the language and images of the 20th century poetry. His poetic shorthand became inspirational model for many 20th century poets across the World. Eliotian devices are use of concrete shocking images, ironic use of myth and far-reaching symbolism. These devices became the benchmark for the 20th century poetry. T.S.Eliot’s The Waste Land is not only understood to be a metaphor of the cultural pessimism and sterility but also tries to depict a culture that is dying and carving for having rebirth. It is clearly evident in his poem that the legend of the Fisher King is entangled with other myths and legends of injury, barrenness, and rebirth. Eliot's vividness is to present this situation as a landscape, a landscape of drought and ruin, a mountain of stones. All these things throw light on the very iconography of broken and scattered belief systems in his poem. The Waste Land is an unremitting stature of the apparent disorder within the modern society and the barrenness of life emerges from a shrewdness of failure, which is not the failure of an individual, instead it is the failure of the whole society at large.

  • Based on Ts Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
    THE ADVANCED SCIENCE JOURNAL LETTERS STYLISTIC DIVERSITY IN CREATION OF THE POETICS OF A LITERARY WORK FOR CHILDREN (BASED ON T.S. ELIOT’S OLD POSSUM’S BOOK OF PRACTICAL CATS ) Nataliya Naumenko National University of Food Technologies, Ukraine [email protected] Received 01-FEB-2015; Accepted 27-FEB-2016; Online 01-MAR-2016 Abstract: The article represents the results of stylistic and literary critical analysis of T.S. Eliot’s poems selected from Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (1939). There was shown that the alternation of speech elements had conditioned the special generic palette of the verses, the variety of heir perception by different aged readers, and thus the book could evoke the new wave of interest to animalism in literature. Keywords: stylistic diversity, poetics, literary work for children, eliot, old possum book of practical cats, creation of poetics. Introduction “To recognize poetry’s multi-dimensionality is to realize that an audience of children and adults do not mutually exclude each other, even if the adults are literary scholars.” (Stone, 2013). Language of poetry for children in any national literature is to be well-organized by expedient selection of such artistic and linguistic means as rhythmomelodics, metaphors, epithets, poetic lexicon or phraseology. Therefore the child would reveal wisdom of the world through language that is actually the most universal form of expression for this wisdom. According to Tamara Denysova, T.S. Eliot was usually considered a ‘serious’ poet because of uncovering the important philosophical problems in his verse works – either epic or lyro-epic. This is why the ‘unexpectedly eccentric’ mood of a poetic collection entitled Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats had conditioned the less attention of researchers.
