Description

Explore a comprehensive intertextual study of Saul, Israel's first king, through three distinct literary interpretations spanning biblical narrative, Lamartine's dramatic tragedy Saul: Tragedie, and Thomas Hardy's novel The Mayor of Casterbridge. This scholarly work from Bloomsbury's Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies series examines how plot and characterization reveal Saul's tragic fate as both a consequence of personal character flaws and the ambivalent role of the deity. The analysis uncovers the dual themes woven through the biblical account and its two remarkably different retellings, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how classical tragedy operates across religious, dramatic, and literary traditions. Ideal for scholars, students, and literature enthusiasts seeking deeper insight into biblical drama and its influence on Western literature.

Key Features

This Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies volume number 339 provides rigorous academic analysis of Saul's character across three distinct literary versions.

The intertextual approach compares biblical narrative with Lamartine's Saul: Tragedie and Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge, revealing shared tragic themes.

Detailed exploration of plot and characterization examines how Saul's downfall stems from both personal flaws and divine ambivalence in each retelling.

Published by Bloomsbury through Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd., this scholarly work addresses poetry, drama and criticism for advanced readers.
