T. S. Eliot is one of those poets who were interested in poetic plays (verse dramas) and tried to revive them in the twentieth century. Adopting Greek tragedies and creating a new versification, he pursued new forms of drama in modern society appropriate to uttering “the particular phrase on the particular occasion.” In each of his verse dramas, we can see a crisis of the community and the community’ s salvation through structural analysis. Salvation is brought about by a man who is first seized with the past and who becomes, as the play progresses, the community’s scapegoat. Eliot dramatizes the way in which a man is made to accept willingly a gratuitous role in modern society. In examining Eliot’s attempt to revive the verse play, it is important to consider Eliot’s interpretation of the community and the guilt (sin, the curse) which lies within the community. This paper attempts to examine Eliot’s verse dramas through his idea of culture, focusing in particular on Eliot’s Notes Towards the Definition of Culture (1948), written at the same time that he was writing his verse dramas.
