Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the revival of tragedy and comedy on the English stage during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, highlighting their significance in providing dramatic coherence to human experiences. It traces this rediscovery through performances in various venues, including schools, colleges, and public theaters, rather than solely through academic discourse. The narrative emphasizes the historical context and cultural shifts that allowed these ancient forms to regain prominence in English literature, contrasting them with earlier medieval distinctions between happy and unhappy endings.
