The Tragic Abyss explores the concept of tragedy in literature and its enduring presence across cultures and time. Edited by Dr. Glenn Arbery, this collection of eighteen essays delves into the genre most emphasized by Aristotle and debated through the centuries.

This volume is part of a series published by Dallas Institute Publications, which seeks to examine the imaginative, mythic, and symbolic sources of culture.

Through its diverse perspectives and insights, The Tragic Abyss offers a nuanced understanding of tragedy's role in shaping our understanding of human experience.
