Seneca and Elizabethan Tragedy (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Seneca and Elizabethan Tragedy
Romanticism, to conclude, cares for heart more than head, passion than intellect; it creates spontaneously, uncritically, unselfconsciously. It is the essence of Youth against the essence of Maturity, the Many in Greek philosophic language against the One, the Spirit of Dionysus in Nietzsche's phrase against the Spirit of Apollo.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the dramatic legacy of the Roman philosopher and playwright Seneca the Younger, tracing his enduring influence on the development of tragedy in Western Europe, particularly in Elizabethan England. The author begins by exploring the evolution of Greek tragedy, from its humble origins in religious rituals to its classical peak with playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. The book then delves into the life and works of Seneca himself, portraying him as a complex figure who epitomized the contradictions of his timeââ âa brilliant writer, a political insider, and a man deeply conflicted between the pursuit of worldly success and philosophical ideals. The book then explores the ways in which Seneca's works, despite their decadent and often bombastic style, profoundly influenced the Elizabethan dramatists. The author meticulously analyzes the Senecan elements that appear in the plays of Shakespeare, Marlowe, and others, highlighting how themes of revenge, violence, and the clash between fate and free will permeate the works of both Seneca and the Elizabethans. The author's insightful analysis illuminates the complex relationship between Classical and Romantic sensibilities in drama, demonstrating how Seneca's seemingly archaic and artificial style ultimately contributed to the emergence of a new, dynamic, and profoundly influential dramatic tradition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
