Mathew R. Martin

Tragedy and Trauma in the Plays of Christopher Marlowe (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Contending that criticism of Marlowe's plays has been limited by humanist conceptions of tragedy, this book engages with trauma theory, especially psychoanalytic trauma theory, to offer a fresh critical perspective within which to make sense of the tension in Marlowe's plays between the tragic and the traumatic.
