This collection transcends mere historical retelling, engaging readers in an exploration of moral dilemmas and the weight of destiny within the framework of Victorian sensibilities and Romantic ideals, augmenting the theatrical landscape of the period. Alfred Tennyson, Britain'Äôs Poet Laureate, was profoundly influenced by his own tumultuous experiences and the sociopolitical climate of the 19th century. His works often reflect themes of loss, faith, and human struggle, informed by his deep sense of spirituality and commitment to artistry. "Becket" exemplifies his engagement with dramatic form, showcasing his mastery of dialogue and character development, influenced by both classical and contemporary writers.
