Roman Tragedy

By Boyle, Anthony J.

0 - Default Title
Description
From its flamboyant beginning in the second half of the third century BC, through the late republic and into the early empire, Roman tragedy was at the center of the city's cultural and political life. Anthony J. Boyle's landmark introduction is the first detailed cultural and theatrical history of this major literary form. Boyle not only plots the history of Roman tragic techniques and conventions of generic formation and change, of the debt of Rome to Greece and one text to another, but in addition traces the birth, development, and death of Roman tragedy within the context of the city's evolving institutions, ideologies, and political and social practices.
