Excerpt from Nearly a Tragedy: A Comedy in Five Acts Scene I. - The White Hart, a country inn near London. Mike, polishing a pewter tankard at the door. Capon and Dick Whiting seated in the open air at a table close by, each in the act of finishing a mug of ale. Dick. (Laying down his empty flagon.) I tell ee what, Master Capon, that there ale is as good as ever was brewed in Kent; and I only wish as that young gen'leman as teaches at the Grange yonder could be made to taste a little on't now and then, as it would bring the color to his cheek a bit. Capon. (Placing his empty pot on the table also.) True, lad, it is good ale; but when did you ever taste anything else at the White Hart, where I have lived, man and boy, upward of sixty year, and that I have kept for full forty? And as for Mr. Travers you speak on, I will say he's a proper gen'leman, and a bravish one, too; for I seed'n myself leap over the wall out of the wood, when Brown Bess was a runnin' away with Miss Alice, and whip the sweet creetur out of the saddle, as if she was only a baby, instead of a blessed angel of twenty, as she is. Mike. Divil resaive the word of lie in that, Dick; for I was down there myself jest as she came out of a faint in his arms. And let me tell you, dear, that bright as that pot is (holding it out admiringly), it's only a blacky-moor to the blaze of her eyes when she looked up in his face and began to thank him. Dick. I know some un as would get his back up at that, Mike, if he heerd on't. Mike. (Contemptuously.) Sir Riginald! Is it that miserable crayt-shure you mane, that, wid all his airs, looks like a hap'orth of soap afther a hard day's washin'? Be me sowkins, I hope she'll never throw herself away on him, anyway! Capon. Yes, Mike, that's all very well; but you know he has got the Hermitage, and every acre belongin' to it, into his clutches in some way or other!

The period covered by this volume in the Cultural History of Tragedy set is bookended by two shockingly similar historical events: the beheading of a king, Charles I of England in 1649 and Louis XIV of France in 1793. The period between these two dates saw enormous political, social and economic changes that altered European society's cultural life. Tragedy, which had dominated the European stage at the beginning of this period, gradually saw itself replaced by new literary forms, culminating in the gradual decline of theatrical tragedy from the heights it had reached in the 1660s. The dominance of France's military and cultural prestige during this period is reflected in the important, almost exclusive, space dedicated in this volume to the French stage. This book covers the tragedies of France's two greatest playwrights - Pierre Corneille (1606-84) and Jean Racine (1639-99) - which would dominate not only the French stage but, through translations and adaptations, became the model of tragic theater across Europe, finding imitators in England (Dryden), Italy (Alfieri) and as far afield as Russia. This dominance continued well into the 18th century with the triumph of Voltaire's tragedies. This volume also examines how the writings of Diderot and Lessing changed the direction of theatre and how after the Revolution, in the writings of Goethe, Shiller, Hegel, tragedy and the tragic were reimagined and became the sign of European modernity. Each chapter takes a different theme as its focus: forms and media; sites of performance and circulation; communities of production and consumption; philosophy and social theory; religion, ritual and myth; politics of city and nation; society and family, and gender and sexuality.

This book, written in an accessible style, is an exhaustive survey of the philosophy of tragedy from antiquity to the present. From Aristotle to Žižek, philosophers have asked: why, notwithstanding its distressing content, do we value tragedy? Some point to a certain pleasure that results from tragedy, others to the knowledge we gain from tragedy - of psychology, ethics, freedom, or immortality.
