'The Senecan Aesthetic' surveys the multifarious ways in which Senecan tragedy has been staged, from the Renaissance up to the present day: plundered for neo-Latin declamation and seeping into the blood-soaked revenge tragedies of Shakespeare's contemporaries, seasoned with French neoclassical rigour, and inflated by Restoration flamboyance. In the mid-18th century, the pincer movement of naturalism and philhellenism began to squeeze Seneca off the stage until August Wilhelm Schlegel's shrill denunciation silenced what he called its 'frigid bombast'.Classical presences.Latin drama (Tragedy)History and criticismTheaterAestheticsCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastLatin drama (Tragedy)History and criticismTheaterAesthetics872/.01Slaney Helen1981-1222785PQKBBOOK9910157835803321The Senecan aesthetic2836597UNINA
