AS 300.331 - Modern Tragedy

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

Over the last two hundred years, tragedy has repeatedly been declared dead on the grounds that the changed social, aesthetic and philosophical conditions of modernity do not allow for the genre in a strict sense. In this course we read a number of the most important dramatists of this period and examine the extent to which the concept and experience of the tragic have changed in our time. Authors to be read will include: Schiller, Büchner, Ibsen, Strindberg, Maeterlinck, Lorca and Beckett.
