- catalog abstract ""This book offers a wide-ranging account of tragic drama from the Greeks to Arthur Miller. It puts forward a bold argument about the recurrent concerns of tragedy, and proposes to uncover the archetypal tragic plot that emerges at key points of historical transition. It traces this plot through diverse formations in Athens, Renaissance England and the modern world, and offers detailed analysis of over twenty plays. The needs of the first-time reader are not forgotten, while challenging new light is thrown on each period." "There is substantial discussion of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Ibsen, Strindberg, Chekhov, Lorca and Miller, along with briefer consideration of the Senecan tradition, Yeats, Synge, O'Neill and T.S. Eliot." "Felicity Rosslyn asks why tragic plays get written when they do, and why they so often dramatise the struggle to replace the bond of blood with the bond of law."--Jacket.".
