The book mixes perspectives from emerging scholars with those of established ones and offers the first systematic examination of the full range and versatility of Renaissance tragedy as a literary genre. It works by case study, so that each chapter offers not only a definition of a particular kind of Renaissance tragedy but also new research into a particularly noteworthy or influential example of that genre. Collectively the essays examine the work of a range of dramatists and offer a critical overview of Renaissance tragedy as a genre.LiteratureukslcEnglish drama (Tragedy)fast(OCoLC)fst00910801English dramaEarly modern and Elizabethanfast(OCoLC)fst01710950English drama (Tragedy)History and criticismEnglish dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismCriticism, interpretation, etc.Genre.Renaissance.Subgenre.Tragedy.Literature.English drama (Tragedy)English dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan.English drama (Tragedy)History and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.822.051Cadman DanielHopkins Lisa1962-Duxfield AndrewMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910823095903321The genres of Renaissance tragedy3991003UNINA
