Twentieth centurv critics have definite ideas about tragedv. Thev maintain that in a true
tragedy, fate must feel the resistance of the tragic hero’s moral freedom before finallv
crushing him, thus generating our ambivalent sense of terrible waste coupled with spiritual
consolation. Yet far from being a timeless truth, this account of tragedv onlv emerged in
the wake of the French Revolution.
What lids Tragedy? demonstrates that this account of the tragic, which has been
hegemonic from the early nineteenth centurv to the present despite all the twists and turns of
critical fashion in the twentieth century, obscured an earlier poetics of tragedy that evolved
from 1515 to i~95* By reconstructing that poetics, Blair Hoxbv makes sense ofplavs that are
“merely pathetic, not truly tragic,” of operas with happy endings, of Christian tragedies,
and of other plays that advertised themselves as tragedies to earlv modern audiences and
yet have subsequently been denied the palm of tragedv bv critics. In doing so, Hoxbv not
only illuminates masterpieces by Shakespeare, Calderon, Corneille, Racine, AI il ton,
and Mozart, he also revivifies a vast repertoire of tragic drama and opera that has
been relegated to obscurity by critical developments since 1S00. He suggests
how many of these plays might be reclaimed as living works of theater. And
by reconstructing a lost conception of tragedv both ancient and modern,
he illuminates the hidden assumptions and peculiar blind-spots of the
idealist critical tradition that runs from Schelling, Schlegel, and
Hegel, through Wagner, Nuetzsche, and Freud, up to modern
p o s t- s t r u c t u ral i s m.
