Talk:Murder in the Cathedral

Comment
Those of us who have read The Idea of a Christian Society wonder who thought Eliot found Naziism the greatest threat to Christendom, in 1935. Septentrionalis 19:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, my copy of that smells funny. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.126.173.159 (talk) 03:46, 23 September 2006‎

I removed the suggestion that Eliot was protesting Nazism - the source given for this assertion made no such assertion, and as others have noted, this is absurd given Eliot's questionable political beliefs. Nathanmurray1 (talk) 19:45, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I see that it's been put back. Why don't we just say 'totalitarianism', to embrace both systems? Valetude (talk) 12:58, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Oops!
Editing as an IP, i just made a misguided edit which (on top of my error of fact, which i thot i had successfully repaired and saved), grossly truncated the article. The bot made a reasonable guess that i was a vandal. --Jerzy•t 03:45, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Wide-eyed amazement. Starting over at Noël Coward, where i probably actually did screw up as i thot i had. [blush] --Jerzy•t 03:53 & 04:40, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Knights' speeches
It's necessary to mention the special tone of the knights' speeches, which shift the emphasis from period drama to contemporary relevance. The rest of the play is in verse and largely historical and religious in its references. But the prose speeches are both unexpected and jarring: in modern language, clearly reflecting the language of politics. I expect there are references that analyse this in a way that could be included in the article, but I have refrained from adding anything except the plain facts.
