Verna A. Foster

The Name and Nature of Tragicomedy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on European tragicomedy from the early modern period to the theatre of the absurd, Verna Foster here argues for the independence of tragicomedy as a genre that perceives and communicates human experience differently from the various forms of tragedy, comedy, and serious drama. By exploring dramaturgical similarities between early modern and modern tragicomedies, she demonstrates the persistence of tragicomedy's generic markers and provides a more precise conceptual framework for the genre than has so far been available.
