Abstract

This study examines the literary development of poetic drama in the works of 20th-century English poets, with a particular focus on T.S. Eliot and W.B. Yeats. Both poets revitalized poetic drama by blending traditional verse forms with modern themes, creating works that bridged the gap between classical influence and contemporary concerns. Eliot, through plays like Murder in the Cathedral and The Family Reunion, brought religious and philosophical depth to the stage. Meanwhile, Yeats infused Irish mythology and symbolism into his dramas, such as At the Hawk's Well and The Death of Cuchulain, contributing to the Irish Literary Revival. The annotation explores how these poets used poetic language not just for aesthetic value, but to explore identity, time, and spiritual conflict.
