Tragicomedy
Angebote / Angebote:
This short authoritative book provides an overview of the origins, characteristics and changing status of tragicomedy from the 17th century to the present. Case studies explore some of the key English and Irish playwrights associated with the form - including John Marston, Ben Jonson, William Shakespeare and John Dryden, and 20th century dramatists Pinter and Beckett, besides the influence of Italian, Spanish and French playwrights. Hammond charts the changing use of the form and how having always been a religious form, in the 20th century it is revived to serve the needs of audiences who have lost their political, moral and religious bearings.
