About This Item
Text is bright, clean, and unmarked in a square and tight binding. Volume appears unused. Price clipped DJ is intact with two small chips and other minor wear along the outer edges. From the front DJ flap, "Professor Waith offers something new in sixteenth and seventeenth century English dramatic criticism; he takes a pro-heroic view of his topic, with emphasis on the positive aspects of 'heroic energy'. The focus of attention is on seven English tragedies by Marlowe, Chapman, and Dryden, in which the hero is remarkably different from the 'standard' tragic hero."
