Politics and Aesthetics in European Baroque and Classicist Tragedy
is a volume of essays investigating European tragedy in the
seventeenth century, comparing Shakespeare, Vondel, Gryphius,
Racine and several other vernacular tragedians, together with
consideration of neo-Latin dramas by Jesuits and other playwrights.
To what extent were similar themes, plots, structures and styles
elaborated? How is difference as well as similarity to be accounted
for? European drama is beginning to be considered outside of the
singular vernacular frameworks in which it has been largely
confined (as instanced in the conferences and volumes of essays
held in the Universities of Munich and Berlin 2010-12), but
up-to-date secondary material is sparse and difficult to obtain.
This volume intends to help remedy that deficit by addressing the
drama in a full political, religious, legal and social context, and
by considering the plays as interventions in those contexts.
