    Man of the Theatre: Stage Performances of T. S. Eliot’s Work in Spain (1949–2016)
    (Springer, 2021) Llorens Cubedo, Didac
    T. S. Eliot’s presence in Spanish theatres has taken various forms. His verse drama enjoyed a relative popularity in the late 1940s and in the 1950s: Murder in the Cathedral, The Family Reunion and The Cocktail Party were staged by student and amateur groups, “chamber” companies and even a national theatre. Reviews were ambivalent, most of them finding fault with the plays’ poetic density as an impediment for performance. Although, as a conservative Anglo-Catholic, Eliot was a priori an unproblematic author for the Francoist establishment and its censorship, critics loyal to Spanish National Catholicism were uncomfortable with the tragic fatalism of The Family Reunion, or with the non-judgemental treatment of adultery in The Cocktail Party. When Eliot’s plays were losing their appeal from the late 1950s onwards, only Murder in the Cathedral was occasionally performed in Spain. More recently, intermedial transpositions and dramatizations of Eliot’s poetry have consolidated his image as a great influential poet whose drama is a rarity.

    Basic Guidelines for Academic Writing
    (2019) Llorens Cubedo, Didac
    Although the basic course bibliography will provide you with all the necessary information to write your PECs, you may want to use other sources, such as books, journal articles, and web sites. Plagiarism consists in presenting somebody else’s words or ideas as though they were your own. This is unacceptable in academic writing (such as a PEC or a paper) and one of the course objectives is to make students aware of the necessity to document sources, if used. This guide contains basic instructions for academic writing, including citing and referencing conventions.

    Syrie James’s The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë: A Neo-Victorian Biofiction of Pride and Prejudice
    (Universidad de Valladolid, 2022-11-23) Llorens Cubedo, Didac
    Syrie James’s The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë (2009) is a first-person narrative of the last ten years of the Victorian novelist’s life. It is a neo-Victorian celebrity biofiction, tending to the hagiographic. It draws on various biographies of Brontë, on her letters and on her autobiographical novels. Interestingly, it also evokes Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, a novel that Brontë famously disliked. The present article considers Secret Diaries within the parameters of neo-Victorian biofiction; it identifies parallelisms with Austen’s classic; it reassesses the relationship between Brontë and Austen; and, in doing all this, shows that the chronological scope of Neo-Victorianism is broad.

    Reading T. S. Eliot. The Rose Garden and After (1930s–1950s)
    (Routledge, 2025-11-19) Llorens Cubedo, Didac; Patea, Viorica; Agencia Estatal de Investigación
    In “Burnt Norton”, the poetic speaker enters a rose garden, a space of envisioned timeless illumination. This experience sets in motion a spiritual quest, which will confer unity upon Four Quartets. For the poet himself, it inaugurates a creative phase (mid 1930s-late 1950s) that strengthens his sense of faith and community. Eliot, increasingly interested in playwriting, completed his meditative masterpiece (Four Quartets) while undertaking his ambitious project to revive verse drama. Devotion to drama reflects Eliot’s stronger social awareness, leading him to adopt popular forms: the pageant (The Rock), drawing-room comedy (The Cocktail Party, The Confidential Clerk, The Elder Statesman) and children’s literature (Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats). As a critic, he widened his scope to write about social issues (The Idea of a Christian Society, Notes Towards a Definition of Culture). These aspects of Eliot’s career are influenced by concrete historical and biographical circumstances such as the impact of war and his ongoing relationship with Emily Hale, who played a decisive role as his muse, guide, and mentor in his newfound passion for the stage. Reading T. S. Eliot: The Rose Garden and After (1930s-1950s) presents original work by numerous scholars addressing these facets of Eliot’s writing.

    From Brutal to Spiritual Men in T.S. Eliot’s Poetry and Drama: Sweeney and Beyond
    (Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2023-03-08) Llorens Cubedo, Didac; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades
    T.S. Eliot’s character Sweeney appears in the collection 1920, the long poem The Waste Land, and the play Sweeney Agonistes. He embodies two opposed aspects of masculinity: a brutal, threatening side associated with gender violence and a spiritual, mystical side. Because of this polar duality, Sweeney sums up most of Eliot’s male characters, including those in his early poems (Bleistein, the “young man carbuncular”) and in his later plays (Harry in The Family Reunion, or Colby in The Confidential Clerk). The study of these characters reveals a gradual detoxing of Sweeney’s masculinity, consisting in the attenuation of his brutality and the growth of his spirituality, which conditions later male characters in accordance with Eliot’s choice of illumination and purgation.
