Synopsis
This groundbreaking collection provokes a major reassessment of the significance of tragedy and the tragic in late modernity. A distinguished group of scholars and theorists extends the discussion of tragedy beyond its usual parameters to include film, popular culture, and contemporary politics. Seven new essays--as well as eight essays originally published in a New Literary History special issue on tragedy--address important, previously neglected areas of tragedy and postcolonial criticism. The new material explores the tragic dimensions of popular culture, the relationship between tragedy and pity, and feminism's avoidance of the tragic, and includes an incisive history of tragic theory. Classic and cutting-edge, this collection offers a provocative, accessible, and comprehensive treatment of tragedy and tragic theory.

- m***7 (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseWonderful transaction experience with seller. The Bible came packaged will, with no damage or issues. It fit the item description perfectly. Would consider buying from them again.
- y***c (131)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook exactly as described. Would buy from again.
- a***e (148)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI did not receive the Bible that was shown in the description as genuine burgundy - neither was it in a box as shown. It was actually a “hardcover” Bible that I never would have purchased had that been revealed. I contacted the seller and they explained that sometimes the item will be somewhat different than the picture - but the Bible I received was completely different! And to me that is borderline “bait & switch.” I want a refund but the seller will only accept returns at MY expense!!
