Description

Explore the classic biblical tragedy of Saul through a deep intertextual lens. This study examines the life of Israel's first king as told in the original biblical narrative and compares it to later literary works. Readers will see how the story was reworked in Lamartine's drama Saul: Tragedie and Thomas Hardy's novel The Mayor of Casterbridge. This academic work looks closely at plot and characterization across these different versions. It examines how the hero's tragic fate is shaped by both personal flaws and the ambivalent role of the deity. By analyzing these three distinct narrations, the book reveals a recurring theme that connects the ancient biblical vision to much later literary retellings. This is an essential resource for those interested in biblical studies, drama, and the evolution of literary tragedy.
