Becket, An Historical Tragedy: The Men Of England, An Ode, And Other Poems (1832) is a book written by Richard Cattermole. The book is a collection of historical and poetic works that explore themes of power, loyalty, and betrayal. The main focus of the book is the historical tragedy of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury who was murdered in 1170 by agents of King Henry II. The play explores the conflict between Becket’s loyalty to the church and his duty to the king, ultimately leading to his tragic demise. In addition to the play, the book also includes other poems that explore similar themes. ''The Men of England'' is an ode that celebrates the working class and their contributions to society, while also critiquing the wealthy and powerful who exploit them. Other poems in the book explore themes of love, nature, and the human condition. Overall, Becket, An Historical Tragedy: The Men Of England, An Ode, And Other Poems (1832) is a thought-provoking collection of works that delve into the complexities of power and loyalty, while also celebrating the beauty of the natural world and the resilience of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
