From a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, the twentieth-century drama that was called �the finest verse play since the Elizabethans� (The New York Times). This modern verse play by the author of The Waste Land, �The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,� and other modern masterpieces deals with the problem of man�s guilt�and his need for expiation through his acceptance of responsibility for the sin of humanity. It reveals the depth and versatility of a twentieth-century writer who excelled as both a poet and a dramatist. �What poets and playwrights have been fumbling at in their desire to put poetry into drama and drama into poetry has here been realized.� �The New York Times
