Book Reviews of Murder in the Cathedral
Book Review: Maybe not T.S, Eliot at his best?
Summary: 3 Stars
A more famous version and maybe better is Becket.
A verse play that fails by me...
I think what I miss by comparison is Henry II in this play.
The point in terms of history is that the power of the church
in English history will decline from here.
Henry II may have been in the wrong, but he never really
gave the command for his friend's death as history seems to have it("Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?").
The Medieval Church was at times as powerful as kings.
An Archbishop was second only to the Pope in that power
over the churches: he was literally a prince of God on earth.
So the crime of killing such an one was not a light one.
Was Thomas Becket a martyr?
