Modern Tragedy [antikvár]

FOREWORD This book brings together, and tries to extend, certain kinds of work I have attempted before. The first part, a history and criticism of ideas of tragedy, follows, in some respects, the work attempted in Culture and Society and The Long Revolution. The second part follows from Drama from Ibsen to Eliot^ though the questions being asked are different. Between that book and this I gave, over four years, a series of lectures on Modern Tragedy in the English Faculty at Cambridge, and my second part is a revised version of those lectures: revised mainly in the direction of making my own position more explicit.
