Abstract
This thesis examines the four "later" plays of T. S. Eliot, namely: The Family Reunion (1939), the Cocktail Party (1949), The Confidential Clerk (1953) and The Elder Statesman (1958). These plays, written over a period of some twenty years, represent a considerable part of Eliot's literary output, yet they are seldom studied or performed. This thesis discusses why this is so.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie verhandeling ondersoek T. S. ELiot se vier "latere" dramas, naamlik: The Family Reunion (1939), The Cocktail Party (1949), The Confidential Clerk (1953) en The Elder Statesman (1958). Hierdiie dramas, gedurende 'n periode van sowat twintig jaar geskryf, maak 'n aansienlike deel van Eliot se letterkundige werk uit, en tog word hulle nie dikwels bestudeer of opgevoer nie. Hierdie verhandeling bespreek die redes hiervoor.
