Synopsis
Macbeth clutches an imaginary dagger; Hamlet holds up Yorick's skull; Lear enters with Cordelia in his arms. Do these memorable and iconic moments have anything to tell us about the definition of Shakespearean tragedy? Is it in fact helpful to talk about ?Shakespearean tragedy? as a concept, or are there only Shakespearean tragedies? What kind of figure is the tragic hero? Is there always such a figure? What makes some plays more tragic than others? Beginning with a discussion of tragedy before Shakespeare and considering Shakespeare's tragedies chronologically one by one, this book seeks to investigate such questions in a way that highlights both the distinctiveness and shared concerns of each play within the broad trajectory of Shakespeare's developing exploration of tragic form., Si l'histoire, selon l'origine ancienne du mot, est vision, elle ne l'est pas seulement au sens de l'autopsie, c'est-a-dire du temoignage oculaire. Car il existe une vision qui, bien qu'habituellement occultee par le mythe de l'il fondateur, n'est pas et n'a jamais ete une origine. C'est une vision qui au lieu d'etre le fondement de l'histoire en est l'effet: une fiction de vision creee par des recits concus et ecrits pour faire voir , pour amener les lecteurs a se representer le passe. Susceptible d'interpretations multiples et contradictoires, la fonction ostensive attribuee au recit historique devient, a partir de l'epoque hellenistique et romaine, l'objet d'un debat dont l'enjeu n'etait rien moins que le statut de l'histoire et dont la teneur fut d'emblee aussi bien historiographique que philosophique et rhetorique. Demeler les fils de ce debat ancien, c'est au fond renouer avec un questionnement qui n'a jamais cesse d'etre actuel: que voit-on quand on nous fait voir l'histoire et que fait l'historien qui nous la fait voir ?, A lively and accessible introduction to Shakespeare's tragedies, this 2007 book begins with a discussion of tragedy before Shakespeare and considers each of Shakespeare's tragedies chronologically. It includes helpful text boxes and detailed chapters on Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello and King Lear, among other plays., Macbeth clutches an imaginary dagger; Hamlet holds up Yorick's skull; Lear enters with Cordelia in his arms. Do these memorable and iconic moments have anything to tell us about the definition of Shakespearean tragedy?
