Description

Explore the historical importance of Roman drama with Brill's Companion to Roman Tragedy. This scholarly volume brings attention back to the significant role Roman tragedy played in Western society and culture prior to the Renaissance. By examining both Republican and Imperial Roman tragedy, the contributors provide a fresh perspective on how these works shaped the literary landscape. This book addresses two primary objectives. First, it demonstrates that Republican tragedy held a much more central role in shaping Imperial tragedy than many modern scholars suggest, potentially even surpassing the influence of Classical Greek tragedy. Second, the text investigates how other Roman literary genres influenced the development of tragedy, revealing a deeper connection between different forms of Roman writing than previously recognized. This collection is an essential resource for those studying the history of drama and the evolution of classical literature.
