Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of dramatic unitiesâ"the classical principles of time, place, and action. The concept originated with Gian Giorgio Trissino, who sought to mirror Greek play structures and elevate Italian drama. The author explores how these rules took hold in France and became strictly enforced, leading to a narrow interpretation of Aristotle's Poetics. Through insightful analysis, the book examines how playwrights like Corneille and Voltaire grappled with the constraints of unities, often sacrificing realism for adherence to the rules. It also sheds light on the eventual rejection of unities in the 19th century, which allowed for greater freedom and depth in dramatic expression. By tracing the evolution of dramatic unities, the author provides valuable insights into the history of theater and the ongoing debate between artistic freedom and adherence to established norms.
