This book explores the theatrical and linguistic means by which the tragic protagonist is estranged from other characters and comes to occupy a singular world in which the autonomy of the individual seems uncertain, discussing plays from classical, renaissance, and neo-classical literature by Aeschylus, Sophocles, Seneca, Shakespeare, and Racine. |
