This comparative literary study re-evaluates French tragedy’s impact on current approaches to guilt and extenuation. Focussing on Racine but ranging widely, it sheds original light on tragic archetypes through the lenses of performance theory and modern attitudes towards blame.

This book uses the dramas of the Storm and Stress period as a major example of reference to fate and guilt concepts as potential rationalisation of tragic irrationality. They are compared to literary tragedies of the Western world leading to the conclusion that they summarize, the contradict, and to some extent predict all major solutions to tragic insolubility.

This book focuses on expressions of the tragic in Spanish cinema. Its main premise is that elements from the classical and modern tragic tradition persist and permeate many of the cultural works created in Spain, especially the films on which the book centers this study. The inscrutability and indolence of the gods, the mutability of fortune, the recurrent narratives of fall and redemption, the unavoidable clash between ethical forces, the tension between free will and fate, the violent resolution of both internal and external conflicts, and the overwhelming feelings of guilt that haunt the tragic heroine/hero are consistent aspects that traverse Spanish cinema as a response to universal queries about human suffering and death.

This book is a full survey of the philosophy of tragedy from antiquity to the present. From Aristotle to Žižek the focal question has been: why, in spite of its distressing content, do we value tragic drama? What is the nature of the 'tragic effect'? Some philosophers point to a certain kind of pleasure that results from tragedy. Others, while not excluding pleasure, emphasize the knowledge we gain from tragedy - of psychology, ethics, freedom or immortality. Through a critical engagement with these and other philosophers, the book concludes by suggesting an answer to the question of what it is that constitutes tragedy 'in its highest vocation'. This book will be of equal interest to students of philosophy and of literature.
