The Revenge Tragedy flourished in Britain during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The classic ingredients of the genre are a quest for vengeance, mad scenes, a play within a play, and carnage. Each of the four plays here subverts the genre, and deals with fundamental moral questions about justice and the individual, while registering the strains of life in an increasingly fragile social hierarchy. This edition includes Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy, the anonymous The Revenger’s Tragedy (variously ascribed to Cyril Tourneur and Thomas Middleton), The

Once it was hoped that the Yugoslav federation might manage to defy the odds once more, this time to become one of the world’s few examples of democratic pluralism. Instead, we are witnessing another Balkan tragedy. What went wrong? In this volume scholars from Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia examine the Janus face of pluralism, with case studies of electoral politics in the republics and of what were once the country’s institutions of integration - the League of Communists, the managerial elite, and the army. Among the contributors are Mirjana Kaspovic, Tomaz Masmak, Vesna Pusic, An

H. B. Charlton was Clark Lecturer at Trinity College, Cambridge, in the years 1946-1947.

For Charlton, these ’moderns’ missed the greatest aspect of Shakespeare: his mastery of stagecraft. This book thus considers Shakespeare’s tragedies specifically as plays, written for performance and for an audience. Charlton also engages with the humanist elements, arguing that Shakespeare’s dramas are chiefly explorati

This classic work not only records developments in the form and style of Greek drama, it also analyses the reasons for these changes. It provides illuminating answers to questions that have confronted generations of students, such as:* why did Aeschylus introduce the second actor?* why did Sophocles develop character drawing?* why are some of Euripides’ plots so bad and others so good?Greek Tragedy is neither a history nor a handbook, but a penetrating work of criticism which all students of literature will find suggestive and stimulating.
