Noise, the Great Fire, and Milton's Samson Agonistes -- Postscript -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexBreaking new ground in the study of tragedy, early modern theatre, and literary London, Metropolitan Tragedy demonstrates that early modern tragedy emerged from the juncture of radical changes in London's urban fabric and the city's judicial procedures. Marissa Greenberg argues that plays by Shakespeare, Milton, Massinger, and others rework classical conventions to represent the city as a locus of suffering and loss while they reflect on actual sources of injustice in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century London: structural upheaval, imperial ambition, and political tyranny.Drawing on a rich archive of printed and manuscript sources, including numerous images of England's capital, Greenberg reveals the competing ideas about the metropolis that mediated responses to theatrical tragedy. The first study of early modern tragedy as an urban genre, Metropolitan Tragedy advances our understanding of the intersections between genre and history.English dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish drama (Tragedy)History and criticismTheater and societyEnglandLondonHistoryLiterature and societyEnglandLondonHistoryJustice in literatureLondon (England)In literatureLondon (England)Social conditionsElectronic books.English dramaHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.English drama (Tragedy)History and criticism.Theater and societyHistory.Literature and societyHistory.Justice in literature.822/.05120903Greenberg Marissa1976-920718MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460587003321Metropolitan tragedy2064938UNINA
