His role in the revival of Poetic Drama
1) Critical review on Eliot's theory of Poetic Drama:
Eliot is one of the greatest writers and poets in the history of the English literature. He has made great contributions in the favor of لصالح the development and flourishment إزدهار of literature as a whole. He wants to be unique فريد and to have his own style that distinguishes him from other writers, so he breaks the rules and decides to pay a keen interest to the art of poetic drama.

Poetry and drama are one thing; they can't be separated because poetry is the natural language of men in the moments of highest emotional excitement الإثارة العاطفية العليا, therefore, at his highest emotional moments, dramatist becomes poetic.
