Conflict and Collaboration
Author: Edward I. Steinhart
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 069119839X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Comic elements in Shakespeare's tragedies have often been noted, but while most critics have tended to concentrate on humorous interludes or on a single play, Susan Snyder seeks a more comprehensive understanding of how Shakespeare used the conventions, structures, and assumptions of comedy in his tragic writing. She argues that Shakespeare's early mastery of romantic comedy deeply influenced his tragedies both in dramaturgy and in the expression and development of his tragic vision. From this perspective she sheds new light on Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. The author shows Shakespeare's tragic vision evolving as he moves through three possibilities: comedy and tragedy functioning first as polar opposites, later as two sides of the same coin, and finally as two elements in a single compound. In the four plays examined here, Professor Snyder finds that traditional comic structures and assumptions operate in several ways to shape the tragedy: they set up expectations which when proven false reinforce the movement into tragic inevitability; they underline tragic awareness by a pointed irrelevance; they establish a point of departure for tragedy when comedy's happy assumptions reveal their paradoxical "shadow" side; and they become part of the tragedy itself wehen the comic elements threaten the tragic hero with insignificance and absurdity. Susan Snyder is Professor of English at Swarthmore College. Originally published in 1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Human Rights and Development in Africa
Author: Barongo ba Kafuuzi Ateenyi
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1625168225
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 103
Book Description
Africa hosts thirty-three of the forty-eight least-developed countries in the world. Half a billion of its people live in abject poverty. The continent houses the most illiterate, most diseased or disease-prone population, and the most socioeconomically and politically unstable situations on earth. Why? Through research, the book explores the development challenges afflicting the continent, leading to Africa’s depressing socioeconomic and political performance in the world. It seeks to answer six major questions about the continent: Why has Africa failed to develop despite its vast natural resources? Why does it suffer social and political instabilities, often resulting in massive deaths, population displacements, surging poverty, disease, hunger, and starvation? Why does Africa suffer chronic dictatorships? Why is the continent increasingly afflicted by financial and political corruption? What do these situations signify for the continent and what should be done to address the situations? For scholars of African studies and development workers on the continent, this is a must-read. The book analyzes human rights and how this affects human growth and development in general, but particularly it seeks to appreciate how human rights and development have interacted to affect human development on the African continent. It approaches human rights from three major perspectives: the concept of human rights; the significance of human rights; and the contribution of human rights to humanity.
