Shakespeares Tragic Art - Rhodri Lewis

A Account Of Shakespearean Tragedy As A Response To Life In An Uncertain World In Shakespearersquo;s Tragic Art, Rhodri Lewis Offers A Powerfully Original Reassessment Of Tragedy As Shakespeare Wrote Itmdash;of What Drew Him Toward Tragic Drama, What Makes His Tragedies Distinctive, And Why They Matter. After Reconstructing Tragic Theory And Practice As Shakespeare And His Contemporaries Knew Them, Lewis Considers In Detail Each Of Shakespearersquo;s Tragedies From Titus Andronicus To Coriolanus. He Argues That These Plays Are A Series Of Experiments Whose Greatness Lies In Their Authorrsquo;s Nerve-straining Determination To Represent The Experience Of Living In A World That Eludes Rational Analysis.
