| Summary: | Displaying the continuing interest in tragedy and especially in the nature of modern tragedy, this book presents a survey of dramatists, novelists and philosophers from the past two centuries who have worked in the tragic tradition. The study begins with Ibsen, who is a commonly cited and apt figure for the beginning of modern tragedy (though its roots lay much further back). Chekhov, Tolstoy, Thomas Hardy, D.H. Lawrence, Nietzsche, Brecht, Beckett, Schopenhauer, Joseph Conrad and Arthur Miller are also covered, to name only a few of the major figures included in the book’s purview. |
