Dorothy L. Sayers took her inspiration from a monk's account of the
fire of 1174, and the subsequent rebuilding of Canterbury Cathedral
Quire. She portrays William of Sens, the chosen architect, as eaten
away by pride in his splendid work, unable to give glory to God for
his achievement. Enacted in the presence of a group of graciously
influential archangels, the play reveals the carelessness of some
of the monks, resulting in the terrifying fall that cripples
William. His agony brings him to repentance and gratitude before
God, and finally to the renunciation of his role, leaving the
completion of the rebuilding to others. This edition also comes
with an English translation of the Latin texts in the play.
