Download or read book Tragedies written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tragedies The place of the tragedies of Seneca in literature is unique. They stand as the sole surviving representatives, barring a few fragments, of an extensive Roman product in the tragic drama. They therefore serve as the only connecting link between ancient and modern tragedy. They are, moreover, modeled more or less closely after the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides; and the Greek and Roman product in literature along parallel lines cannot be better studied than by a comparison of these Senecan plays with their Greek prototypes - a comparison which is not possible in comedy, since, unfortunately, the Greek originals of Plautus and Terence have not come down to us.

Download or read book Greek Tragedy Classic Reprint written by J. T. Sheppard and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Tragedy His book does not pretend to be a summary of known facts relating to Greek Tragedy. Nor is it, except incidentally, an essay in critical apprecia tion. Its aim is to help modern readers to enjoy Greek plays. For that reason stress has been laid on ideas and conventions which are not likely to be at first sight obvious to an English reader. That is why more space is given to Aeschylus than to either of his successors. That is also the explanation of the brief allusion which is made to some of the greatest of Greek tragedies. The Oedipus Tyrannus, for instance, depends for its effect upon qualities which are apparent, even in translation, to all readers who care for poetry and drama. It may be added that this book will be of little use unless the reader will turn to the plays them selves, either in the original or at least in a translation. Finally, remarks which are made in regard to one play often apply with equal force to many others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Tragedies Classic Reprint written by D. J. Snider and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tragedies This play shows in many ways that it belongs to the youthful productions of Shakespeare. Its theme is the passion of youth; it has the wild freedom and intensity of youth. There is a lack of that severity of treatment which belongs to the later works of the Poet; there are parts which seem very loosely connected with the fundamental thought, and then again there are other parts developed at length which appear quite unnecessary to the action. There is often a sensuous fullness of delineation, and often an abstract brevity; there are found the finest and purest bursts of poetry intermingled with frigid conceits and far-fetched antitheses. Everywhere in the drama can be noticed an inequality - an inequality in thought, in language, in the structure of the plot. Still, beneath all this play of caprice and irregularity there is felt to be a deep, pervading harmony throughout the entire work. The inequality seems to be the inequality of the subject - the inequality of youth with its fitful, tempestuous passion. It has been well named the tragedy of love, love in all its conflicts, love in all its extravagance and volcanic tossings, love despised and love triumphant. It portrays this passion boiling over with a fervor which sweeps down all traditional barriers, even the most deadly enmity, and which is ready to struggle with death itself. The theme is therefore love, unconquerable, irresistible, of which the individual is the merest instrument, ready to be sacrificed without the least hesitation.

Where's this you're hiding at?" cried old Phillis, tying her bandana headgear in a more flamboyant knot over her gray hair and brown face. "Where's this you're hiding at? The Old Madame's after you." And in answer to the summons, a girl clad in homespun, but with every line of her figure the lines, one might fancy, of a wood-and-water nymph's, came slowly up from the shore and the fishing-smacks, with a young fisherman beside her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sublime Tragedy of the Lost Cause The story of the old soldier; whose silvery locks Were lovingly mingled with the golden hair Of a beautiful girl who was sleeping there On his battle-scarred breast. The great civil war of America - that heroic struggle of the southern people in defence of the Lost Cause, against the stupendous power of the North, wielded in support of the Federal Union - furnished many a tragic incident of sellsacrifice and noble devotion, worthy to be celebrated in song or woven into the fabric of romance; but there is no private history - of which I know anything as full of dramatic effects as the one I now propose to relate. Nor can I think of one more closely interwoven with those great events that have rendered this beautiful region historic events that transpired, my child, before your fair face had made the world brighter, or these golden curls had coiled themselves so closely around your grandfather's heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Classical Tragedies: Edited With Introduction and Notes This little book includes the results of studies I began as Shakespeare Scholar and Berkeley Fellow at the Owens College, Manchester, resumed in the comparative leisure of a lectureship at mcgill University, Montreal, continued in a busy quinquennium as Chairman of the Department of English in the University of Wisconsin, and completed as Professor of English at Columbia University in the City of New York. In the meantime I have printed some of my conclusions in the Publica tions of the Modern Language Association and elsewhere, and the writing of the Introduction was encouraged by an invitation to give a course of lectures on Renascence Tragedy at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. For courtesies from gentlemen connected with all the organi zations mentioned I am too extensively indebted for it to be possible to mention each by name; but my obligations to a former colleague and fellow student, Dr. H. A. Watt, who has kindly contributed the notes on Gorboduc - a play of which he has made a very thorough study - are so considerable that I cannot let them pass without due acknowledgement. I wish also to thank the Earl of Ellesmere and his Librarian, Mr. Strachan Holme, for giving me access to the unique Bridgewater copy of Gorboduc.

Download or read book Poetical Tragedies Classic Reprint written by Wilfred Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetical Tragedies The four tragedies included in this volume are widely separated in their subject-matter. It is a far call from Arthur of the Round Table, of ancient Celtic Britain, to Daulac, of the French Canadas, and they each are seemingly separated from the fortunes of the great Pope Gregory; yet these plays are included in the one volume because they deal with those eternal problems of the human soul which all of the world's thinkers have had at heart. Two of the plays, "Mordred" and "Hildebrand," were written in 1893, and published in a small edition in 1895, while the others now appear for the first time in book form. The author makes no apology for the form of these plays. Like other writers, he has his own literary ideals, and with the great mass of the sane British peoples, believes that Shakespeare is still the great dramatic poet of the modern world. If these plays, in spite of their imperfections, receive a kindly welcome, the author will later publish another group of his historical dramas and comedies in a separate volume.
