The very passion and insight with which he writes about the tragedies that have moved him prove that the vision still lives and that words can still enlighten and reveal.""R.B. Sewall, New York Times Book Review George Steiner is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Geneva. His books include The Death of Tragedy, Language in Silence, In Bluebeard's Castle, and On Difficulty and Other Essays. Steiner argues that Tragedy is an Artform unique to the Western world. In his opening pages he makes the claim that for the Judaic sensibility there is no tragedy as it is "vehement in its conviction that the order of the universe and of man's estate is accessible to reason."pp.4 For Steiner tragedy arises out of a contrary view "necessity is blind and man's encounter with it shall rob him of his eyes, whether in Thebes or in Gaza."pp.5 For Steiner this is a Greek assertion. Steiner makes a learned survey of Western Literature showing the points at where tragic genius has flourished, and the many more where it has been attempted and failed. Close to the end of the work he makes this observation "..Tragedy is that form of art which requires the intolerable burden of God's presence. It is now dead because His shadow no longer falls upon us as it fell on Agamemnon or Macbeth or Athalie." Steiner then goes on to talk briefly about the possibility of renewal of tragedy under different circumstances. Please choose Priority / Expedited shipping for faster delivery.
