Thorndike and published in 1908, is a comprehensive study of the origins and evolution of tragedy as a form of dramatic art. The book provides a detailed analysis of the works of ancient Greek playwrights such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, as well as the Roman playwright Seneca, and their contributions to the development of tragedy.Thorndike examines the various elements that make up a tragic play, including plot, character, language, and spectacle, and explores the ways in which these elements have been used throughout history to create powerful and emotionally resonant works of art. He also delves into the cultural and historical contexts in which these plays were written and performed, shedding light on the social and political issues of their time.Throughout the book, Thorndike draws on a wide range of sources, including literary criticism, historical accounts, and his own extensive knowledge of classical literature and drama. Tragedy is a seminal work in the field of literary criticism and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of drama and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
