Those who believe that there is not ragedy worthy of the name since the Greeks will be content with Oedipus and the Medea; th…ose who believe that Shakespeare is matchless will not cavil at Othello; and those who think that all art previous to the twentieth century is hopelessly antiquated may take their pleasure with Hauptmann and Gorki. It is hoped, however that a comparative study of these types will insure a deeper insight into the nature of tragic art." #02178. Book VG: spine sunned, age/soil to boards and spine, text clean, binding tight.
