Book Description
Excerpt from The Evolution of Technic in Elizabethan Tragedy We shall attempt to trace in this study the coming into existence of a technic in Elizabethan tragedy, an evolution that best demonstrates itself in Shakespeare's plays. We shall therefore be concerned for the most part with him; but, in preparation for him, with the plays immediately pre ceding and with the elements handed down from the Middle Ages. What we shall need to inquire into will not be the make-up of any one tragedy in itself, but in its relation to other tragedies, and for the evidence it gives of an advanc ing technic - the employment by its author of points of structure that critics nowadays consider essential to a well built tragedy.
