The idea of the tragic has permeated Western culture for millennia,
being closely bound with the concept of the limit of inescapable
necessity that has been embodied in and expressed through theatre
since the time of the ancient Greeks. This book addresses the
question of how the twentieth century - one of the most violent
periods of human history - dealt with the fundamental structure
that is the tragic. Examining the consciousness of the era through
an in-depth analysis of some of the twentieth century's most
outstanding texts - including works by Ibsen, Claudel, O'Neill,
Brecht, Camus, Beckett, Pasolini, Grotowski, Delcuvellerie and
Josse De Pauw - 'Modern European Tragedy' draws a vivid picture of
the development that tragedy experienced during this time.
