Excerpt from An Introduction to Dramatic Theory
While in a work of this kind, dealing with the principles of tragedy and comedy, it was necessary to devote considerable space to the fundamental sources of comic and of tragic enjoyment, it must be pointed out that this book does not profess to present a new theory of laughter or a psychological analysis of the pleasure derived from tragedy. All through I have confined myself strictly to the theatre, and have endeavoured to analyse existing works of dramatic art rather than to probe back from these works to the more primitive sources of laughter and of tears. My aim has been to write an introduction to the study of drama, and for this purpose I have treated the dramatic productivity of Greece, Rome, France, Italy, Germany, and England as one, in an attempt to capture those essential characteristics by which all are linked together.
My apology for writing this book, if apology be needed, is that there is at present no satisfactory work on comedy as a type of drama, and that, even with tragedy, critics have been more inclined to analyse particular branches of the subject than to treat all as one. It has been my object here to show that there is something fundamentally in common not only between Æschylus and Shakespeare, but between Shakespeare and Ibsen; that the finest productions of modern, Elizabethan, and classical dramatic art are bound together by ties which, although less visible, count for far more than the apparent differences in style, in spirit, and in construction.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the foundational elements of tragedy and comedy, investigating the principles of the two forms of dramatic art. It presents the historical evolution of these principles, tracing their journey from ancient Greece to the Renaissance, and then to the present day. The author delves into the nature of inwardness in modern tragedy, examining how the psychological complexity of characters has deepened over time, and how this contrasts with the tragedy of the Greeks. The book also analyzes the spirit of comedy, exploring the different types of comedy, from farce and melodrama to satire and wit, drawing out the characteristics that define each type and discussing their enduring appeal. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the forms, functions, and development of tragedy and comedy in Western drama, offering insights into the ways in which these genres have shaped our understanding of the human condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
