The Baroque Character Of The Elizabethan Tragic Hero is a book written by Levin Ludwig Schucking, exploring the concept of the tragic hero in Elizabethan literature. The book focuses on the Baroque period, a time of great artistic and cultural change in Europe, and how this influenced the portrayal of tragic heroes in Elizabethan drama.Schucking argues that the Elizabethan tragic hero was not simply a product of the Renaissance, but was also shaped by the Baroque aesthetic. He examines the works of Shakespeare, Marlowe, and other Elizabethan playwrights, looking at how they used the conventions of Baroque art to create complex and dynamic tragic heroes.The book also explores the philosophical and cultural ideas that underpin the Elizabethan tragic hero, such as the concept of free will and the idea of the individual struggling against fate. Schucking draws on a range of sources, including literary criticism, historical documents, and contemporary accounts of Baroque art and culture, to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of this fascinating topic.Overall, The Baroque Character Of The Elizabethan Tragic Hero is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the Elizabethan tragic hero and its relationship to the Baroque aesthetic. It will appeal to scholars and students of literature, theatre, and cultural history, as well as anyone with an interest in the intersection of art and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
