Eagleton covers a vast array of thinkers and practitioners, including Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin, and Slavoj Zizek, as well as key figures in theater, from Sophocles and Aeschylus to Shakespeare and Ibsen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Eagleton examines the political nature of tragedy, looking closely at its connection with periods of historical transition. The dramatic form originated not as a meditation on the human condition, but at moments of political engagement, when civilizations struggled with the conflicts that beset them. Tragedy, Eagleton demonstrates, is fundamental to human experience and culture.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45033230008471,"sku":"9780300252217","price":2637.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300252217.webp?v=1769209215","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tragedy-9780300252217","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
