Seventeenth-century French playwrights composed tragedies marked by neoclassical aesthetics and the divine-right absolutism of the Grand Sicle. But their works also speak to the modern imagination, inspiring reactions from Barthes, Derrida, and Foucault; adaptations and reworkings by Césaire and Kushner; and new productions by francophone and anglophone directors.</p><p>This volume addresses both the history of French neoclassical tragedy--its audiences, performance practice, and development as a genre--and the ideas these works raise, such as necessity, free will, desire, power, and moral behavior in the face of limited choices. Essays demonstrate ways to teach the plays through a variety of lenses, such as performance, spectatorship, aesthetics, rhetoric, and affect. The book also explores postcolonial engagement, by writers and directors both in and outside France, with these works.</p>...4371020Teaching French Neoclassical Tragedy800800https://www.gandhi.com.mx/teaching-french-neoclassical-tragedy-9781603295321/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4226011/6d92ae1e-ccbd-4c5b-b667-21133338e328.jpg?v=638446524882130000InStockMXN99999DIEbook9781603295321_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9781603295321_<p>Tragedy has been reborn many times since antiquity.
