Description

Shakespeare's Tragic Art by Rhodri Lewis is a fresh reassessment of tragedy as Shakespeare wrote it. This new account explores what drew him to tragic drama, what makes his tragedies distinctive, and why they matter. Through a detailed examination of each of Shakespeare's tragedies from Titus Andronicus to Coriolanus, Lewis reveals that these plays are experiments in representing the human experience. They explore our inability to know ourselves and the fictions we create to find meaning in life. This major reevaluation of Shakespeare's tragedies offers insights into the capacity of literature to help us navigate the complexities of human existence. A valuable contribution to our understanding of Shakespeare's works, Shakespeare's Tragic Art is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Shakespeare, tragedy, or the power of literature to illuminate the human condition.
