"Politics and Aesthetics in European Baroque and Classicist Tragedy is a volume of
essays investigating European tragedy in the seventeenth century, comparing Shakespeare,
Vondel, Gryphius, Racine and several other vernacular tragedians, together with consideration
of neo-Latin dramas by Jesuits and other playwrights. To what extent were similar
themes, plots, structures and styles elaborated ? How is difference as well as similarity
to be accounted for? European drama is beginning to be considered outside of the singular
vernacular frameworks in which it has been largely confined (as instanced in the conferences
and volumes of essays held in the Universities of Munich and Berlin 2010-12), but
up-to-date secondary material is sparse and difficult to obtain. This volume intends
to help remedy that deficit by addressing the drama in a full political, religious,
legal and social context, and by considering the plays as interventions in those contexts.
