Shakespeare's Tragic Art

Více o knize

Rhodri Lewis explores Shakespeare's tragedies as experiments aimed at revealing the complexities of human experience. He posits that Shakespeare sought to understand the purpose of tragedy, shaping his plays into cohesive artistic works influenced by earlier tragic traditions. By examining the historical context of sixteenth-century tragedy, Lewis provides a chronological analysis of Shakespeare's plays, asserting their role as a means of conveying truth in a world resistant to rational understanding, distinct from the philosophies of Hegel and Aristotle.
