The construction and deconstruction of Becket's reputation is
central to this provocative new study. The cult of Becket has
remained enduring: it was the centerpiece of Chaucer's Canterbury
Tales; and in our own time it has carried powerful enough resonance
to generate interpretations from T.S. Eliot, Jean Anouilh, and
indeed Hollywood. This book investigates whether the popular
conception of Becket through the ages is a result of valid
assessments of the man and his cause, or a product of a carefully
constructed myth, and how far can one correct for the bias and
reach the truth.
