Along with its theoretical discussions, the book weaves together in an entertaining and provocative way commentary on an array of artworks, from Greek drama to contemporary American cinema, with a particular focus on modern European and especially German drama. What emerges from this study is not only a clearer picture of Hegel's strengths and weaknesses but an original study of tragedy and comedy that will be studied along with other modern classics such as those of Peter Szondi and Northrop Frye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark William Roche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791435466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791435465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 5.94w x 0.99d","brand":"Mark William Roche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930682933503,"sku":"9780791435465","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e039966-48f6-43fb-8c32-56afb3a2b148.jpg?v=1766343542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tragedy-and-comedy-mark-william-roche-9780791435465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
