This short but thought-provoking volume asks the question
‘What is it that tragedy makes us know?’ The focus is on
tragedy as a mode of representing the experience of radical
suffering, pain, or loss, a mode of narrative through which
we come to know certain things about ourselves and our
world — about its fragility and ours. Through a mixture of
historical discussion and close reading of a number of dramatic
texts—from Sophocles to Sarah Kane—the book addresses
a wide range of debates: how tragedy is defined, whether there
is such a thing as ‘absolute tragedy’, various modern attempts
to rework the classical heritage, and the relation of comedy
to tragedy. There is also a fresh discussion of whether
religious — particularly Christian — discourse is inimical to the
tragic, and of the necessary tension between tragic narrative
and certain kinds of political as well as religious rhetoric. Rowan
Williams argues that tragic drama both articulates failure and
frailty and, in affirming the possibility of narrating the story of
traumatic loss, refuses to settle for passivity, resignation, or
despair. In this sense, it still shows the trace of its ritual and
religious roots. And in challenging two-dimensional models of
society, power, humanity, and human knowing, it remains an
intrinsic part of any fully humanist culture.
