This title was first published in 2000. This book offers a
wide-ranging account of tragic drama from the Greeks to Arthur
Miller. It puts forward a bold and vigorously developed 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 fascinatingly diverse
formations on 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, Euripedes, 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 break the
ties of blood for the bonds of law.
