简介
编辑推荐

The subject of tragedy is at once intimidating and well-worn. All credit then to the editors for having commissioned a varied collection of essays that breaks fresh ground and makes unexpected connections. Contributors are not afraid to ask large questions, for example about the transcultural appeal of tragedy or its compatibility with the postmodern condition. There is an emphasis on enriching intertextualities and reception histories; on the light that different tragic traditions with their continuities and dissonances can cast on one another. The volume as a whole suggests some future directions our conversations about tragedy might profitably take.

内容推荐

Tragedy in Transition is an innovative and exciting volume that explores the theory and practice of tragedy from the Greek tragedians to the present day, tracing important developments, continuities,and discontinuities in the tragic tradition and exploring the afterlives of some of the most resonant tragic narratives. Central questions - the role of the gods, for example - are examined in unexpected ways, and less traditional topics -including childhood and science fiction - allow new questions to be opened up. The volume as a whole employs a range of theoretical and critical approaches to press the boundaries of tragedy,encouraging the reader to interrogate the parameters and significance of the genre.

An ideal resource for students, this accessible anthology offers an up-to-date and lively critique of a wide range of topics in the field.
