Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a critical examination of the Rhymed Heroic Tragedy, widely known as the Heroic Play, a short-lived yet culturally significant genre that emerged in the English Restoration period. The author presents a close reading of the plays, exploring the distinctive features that set them apart, including their use of heroic verse and lyrical metres, their focus on elevated themes of love, honour, and conflict, and their adherence to the unities of time, place, and action. The book positions this genre within the broader literary and theatrical landscape of the time, tracing its origins to French classical theatre and examining its influence on the development of Restoration tragedy. Through a detailed analysis of plot, characterization, and sentiment, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of the Heroic Play's unique contribution to English dramatic literature, illuminating its enduring significance as a reflection of the aesthetic and social values of its era.
