Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the origins and evolution of 'technic' in Elizabethan tragedy, as best exemplified by Shakespeare's plays. 'Technic' refers to the dramatic points the public demanded in tragedies, with 'catastrophe' being the most important. The early Elizabethan drama inherited much from the morality plays of the preceding three centuries, already showcasing striking situations and memorable scenes that would come to define Elizabethan tragedy. The influence of Senecan tragedy further emphasized violence and death, particularly at the play's end. Despite influences from abroad, the English remained partial to having death invariably conclude the action of a tragedy, likely due to a deep-rooted cultural preference for completeness. Through a historical analysis of Elizabethan plays, the author traces the development of various aspects of tragedy's structure, showing how playwrights moved from one point of emphasis to another until the form reached its culmination in Shakespeare. The book provides a valuable insight into the development of one of the most important genres in English literature.
