This book addresses the question of how the twentieth century - one of the most violent periods of human history - dealt with the fundamental structure that is the tragic. Examining the consciousness of the era through an in-depth analysis of some of the twentieth century's most outstanding texts - including works by Ibsen, Claudel, O'Neill, Brecht, Camus, Beckett, Pasolini, Grotowski, Delcuvellerie and Josse De Pauw - 'Modern European Tragedy' draws a vivid picture of the development that tragedy experienced during this time. 410 0$aAnthem studies in theatre and performance. 606 $aEuropean drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean drama$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTragedy$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEuropean drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTragedy$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.2/512 700 $aCascetta$b Annamaria$0163380 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464277603321 996 $aModern European tragedy$92460275 997 $aUNINA
