Towards Tragedy/reclaiming Hope

Literature, Theology And Sociology In Conversation

BY BEN PINK-DANDELION, DOUGLAS GWYN, RACHEL MUERS, BRIAN PHILLIPS, RICHARD STURM

Brief Description:
The 'death of tragedy' in the modern era has been debated in recent years, largely in terms of literature and western culture in general. Today, any catastrophe is likely to be labeled a 'tragedy', without any inference of a larger, transcendent horizon or providential design. This book offers new perspectives on the idea of the 'death of tragedy', taking England and the Religious Society of Friends in particular as a case study. The different disciplinary perspectives of the contributing authors bring literature, history, theology and sociology into a creative and revealing conversation.
