Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known today for the novels Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones, Henry Fielding was just as renowned in his own time as a prolific and highly successful dramatist. Among his most popular plays was The Tragedy of Tragedies: Or, The Life and Death of Tom Thumb, one of the most extraordinary parodies in English theater. The print version of the play incorporates, in an elaborate structure of annotations, a remarkable satire of heroic drama and of the pretensions and excesses of “false scholarship.” This edition includes the text of the play itself and the text of the extraordinary notes (by Fielding’s pseudonym “H. Scriblerus Secundus”), appearing in facing page layout; extensive explanatory notes for the modern reader appear at the bottom of the page. Also included are a substantial introduction and a wide range of background materials that set the work in the context of its time. These contextual materials include contemporary reviews, excerpts from the plays that Fielding’s parody most frequently targeted, and selections from works that provided inspiration for The Tragedy of Tragedies—from contemporary versions of the “Tom Thumb” folktale to satirical writing by authors such as Alexander Pope, John Gay, and George Villiers.

Excerpt: ... and at the end all the characters fall into line and slaughter one another. In the Tom Thumb of 1730 the fatalities had included the Ghost of Gaffer Thumb, killed by Grizzle, but in the final version this amusing bit of action was omitted. Since the days of Elizabeth the English had taken vast delight in violent death and the uproar of stage battles. In fact, Fielding's ending might have been suggested by the series of deaths catalogued by the Ghost at the close of The Spanish Tragedy. In the tragedy of the heroic type a large proportion of the Dramatis Personae died on stage1; in Cleomenes, which Fielding mentions in his last foot-note as having an especially "charming and bloody catastrophe," Dryden puts to death five characters within the narrow limits of three pages. As for stage battles, they were innumerable; in the heroic plays armies are always marching and countermarching, and the drums and trumpets are seldom quiet for long. The gusto with which stage directions for battles were put into practice may be judged from Addison's comment in number 42 of The Spectator-- "I should likewise be glad if we imitated the French in banishing from our stage the noise of drums, trumpets, and huzzas, which is sometimes so great that when there is a battle in the Haymarket theatre, one may hear it as far as Charing Cross.' The characters of the heroic play are so easily reduced to formulas that Fielding had little trouble in collecting a sort of heroic family album. From the first the intention of the playwrights had been, not to represent real life, but to construct models embodying heroic ideas of love, honor, jealousy, and so forth. i The hero and heroine, however, frequently survived, and furnished a happy ending. These models were...

Download or read book The Lessons of Tragedy written by Hal Brands and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “brilliant” examination of American complacency and how it puts the nation’s—and the world’s—security at risk (The Wall Street Journal). The ancient Greeks hard-wired a tragic sensibility into their culture. By looking disaster squarely in the face, by understanding just how badly things could spiral out of control, they sought to create a communal sense of responsibility and courage—to spur citizens and their leaders to take the difficult actions necessary to avert such a fate. Today, after more than seventy years of great-power peace and a quarter-century of unrivaled global leadership, Americans have lost their sense of tragedy. They have forgotten that the descent into violence and war has been all too common throughout human history. This amnesia has become most pronounced just as Americans and the global order they created are coming under graver threat than at any time in decades. In a forceful argument that brims with historical sensibility and policy insights, two distinguished historians argue that a tragic sensibility is necessary if America and its allies are to address the dangers that menace the international order today. Tragedy may be commonplace, Brands and Edel argue, but it is not inevitable—so long as we regain an appreciation of the world’s tragic nature before it is too late. “Literate and lucid—sure to interest to readers of Fukuyama, Huntington, and similar authors as well as students of modern realpolitik.” —Kirkus Reviews
