Radical Tragedy

Beschreibung

When it was first published, Radical Tragedy was hailed as a groundbreaking reassessment of the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. It remains a landmark study of that drama and a classic of cultural materialist criticism: an engaged reading of the past with compelling contemporary significance.
The third edition of this critically acclaimed book reproduces the original text with the addition of a Foreword by Terry Eagleton, and an extensive new Introduction which argues for the continuing relevance of the tragic
aesthetic in today's world.
