Book Passion in Tragedy
Passion and Violence in Greek and Shakespearean Tragedy
Revenge, jealousy, love, madness - Tragedy charts the cause, course, crisis and impact of extreme psychologies - which, extreme as they are, are still recognisable today. Will blood always have blood; will blood always infect the brain? And is there something in tragic characters that stands apart from the passion that is supposed to define and impel them? The course will explore discuss and perhaps understand the power and boundarying of passions in the two great sources of tragic drama: the Greeks and Shakespeare.
Seven two-hourly sessions, January-February 2025, live online via Zoom. Places are limited.
With Dr Fred Parker and Dr Jan Parker, University of Cambridge.
