The Murders in the Rue Morgue is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been claimed as the first detective story and also as the model for Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". Similar works predate Poe's stories, including Das Fraulein von Scuderi (1819) by E.T.A. Hoffmann and Zadig (1748) by Voltaire. Detective C.

In the story all of Paris is in shock following the ghastly murder of two women - but with all witnesses claiming to have heard the suspect speak a different language, the police are stumped.

Includes The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, and The Purloined Letter Between 1841 and 1844, Edgar Allan Poe invented the genre of detective fiction with three mesmerizing stories of a young French eccentric named C.

诗剧《大教堂凶杀案》是艾略特的代表剧作，创作出版于1935年，根据真实历史事件改编，反映了12世纪坎特伯雷大主教托马斯·贝克特与英王亨利二世之间的政治斗争。诗剧分两部分，幕间有一个插曲；剧情随着三教士、四诱劝者、四骑士等各色人物的陆续登场，在紧张的氛围中一步步走向高潮。在这些出场人物中值得一提的是坎特伯雷妇女合唱队，美国著名诗人康拉德·艾肯为这些妇女语言中的人性所打动：“这或许是这部剧中最大的惊喜——在这里艾略特通了人情，变得温柔了……” 书中另外收入艾略特剧作《老政治家》，该剧人物、场景、情节虽很简单，却充分展现了一个退休后的老政治家的复杂性，当他再无政务需要打理，再没有角色需要扮演时，他必然要面对记忆深处不为人知的往事和自己的内心。
