Eagleton covers a vast array of thinkers and practitioners, including Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin, and Slavoj ?i?ek, as well as key figures in theater, from Sophocles and Aeschylus to Shakespeare and Ibsen.   Eagleton examines the political nature of tragedy, looking closely at its connection with periods of historical transition. The dramatic form originated not as a meditation on the human condition, but at moments of political engagement, when civilizations struggled with the conflicts that beset them. Tragedy, Eagleton demonstrates, is fundamental to human experience and culture. 606 $aTragedy$xHistory and criticism 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 608 $aTragedies (Drama)$2fast 608 $aTragedies (Drama)$2lcgft 615 0$aTragedy$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.2512 700 $aEagleton$b Terry$f1943-$0123654 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820840303321 996 $aTragedy$94022137 997 $aUNINA
