O knihe
Aristotle is the one who set genre theory centuries ago. Still today, the drama criticism revolves around what he said on tragedy. This book provides the readers with knowledge about tragedy as a genre, and how it has evolved during the centuries. Following constructing the structural framework of tragedy as a genre in Aristotelian sense, it also gives information about different literary movements in which tragedy has taken new shapes. Thus, the readers will see how the perspective towards tragedy as a genre adapted the Aristotelian sense of tragedy in some literary periods and movements, and how they digressed from the Aristotelian understanding of the genre. The book presents an analysis of different plays in each chapter to provide the readers with an understanding of tragedy as a term, the evaluation of tragedy throughout history, as well as transformation of the genre even in the same literary period, thanks to its synchronic and diachronic approach towards the genre, as well as how they could achieve 'tragic mode'.
