Description

Explore a new critical perspective on Early Modern Drama with this scholarly study from Routledge. This book challenges traditional humanist views of Christopher Marlowe's plays by applying trauma theory and psychoanalytic frameworks to his work. Instead of viewing his plays through standard tragic lenses, the author examines how they function as trauma narratives and narratives of wounding. By studying the tension between the tragic and the traumatic, this text offers a unique way to understand Marlowe's dramatic impact. It provides a fresh reading of specific works, such as Massacre at Paris, which has historically been dismissed by critics. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars of performance and theater history who want to understand how traumatic aesthetics disrupt the traditional closure found in tragedy.
