Even before Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats was turned into a musical, it was getting some heat from critics and fans alike. Back in 1937, on Christmas Day to be exact, the BBC aired live readings of poems from Eliot’s previously unpublished cat work. People went nuts!

In fact, some critics wrote that the poems were “hyperactive, dense with faux-pompous elevated diction.”
