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. 606 $aEnglish drama$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater and society$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 606 $aJustice in literature 607 $aLondon (England)$xIn literature 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater and society$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory. 615 0$aJustice in literature. 676 $a822/.05120903 700 $aGreenberg$b Marissa$f1976-$0920718 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460587003321 996 $aMetropolitan tragedy$92064938 997 $aUNINA
