About This Item
New York: Prentice Hall, 1928. hardcover. Book VG: spine sunned, age/soil to boards and spine, text clean, binding tight.. 12mo 667pp. from Foreword: "The dramas in this volume have been chosen to illustrate the varying conceptions of tragedy from the classical art of the Greeks to the naturalism of the modern era. Those who believe that there is not ragedy worthy of the name since the Greeks will be content with Oedipus and the Medea; those who believe that Shakespeare is matchless will not cavil at Othello; and those who think that all art previous to the twentieth century is hopelessly antiquated may take their pleasure with Hauptmann and Gorki. It is hoped, however that a comparative study of these types will insure a deeper insight into the nature of tragic art." #02178.
