Tragedy and Dramatic Theatre (Broché)

An extraordinary milestone in Hans-Thies Lehmann's contributions to theatre and performance scholarship, Tragedy and Dramatic Theatre plots a course through the history of dramatic thought. Moving from Aristotle and Seneca through Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Heiner Müller and Sarah Kane, it forms an authoritative account of this core foundation of the dramatic arts. Translated from the German, this volume traces tragedy from its philosophical roots to its inextricable relationship with drama and its impact upon post-dramatic forms.
Tragedy and Dramatic Theatre is the definitive work in its field, and essential reading for anyone interested in tragedy as an art form.
