Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the literary and historical contexts, and thematic depth of Metastasioâs melodramas. Despite their labeling as tragedies, these works present a distinctively 18th-century European comedic perspective. The author argues that while Metastasio believed he was continuing the Greek tragic tradition, his plays were received by audiences as sentimental comedies. The author examines the simplistic nature of Metastasio's dramas, where characters exist in an idealized world free from serious consequences for their actions. This idealized world is disrupted briefly during the play's timeframe but is ultimately restored to its peaceful state by the play's end. These insights into Metastasio's works reveal the evolving literary landscape of the 18th century and challenge traditional notions of tragedy and comedy.
