It begins with a general theoretical introductions on the nature of the baroque art of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, concentrating on the peculiar stage-form of royal martyr dramas called Trauerspiel. Later, Benjamin discusses the engravings of Durer, and the theatre of Shakespeare and Calderon. Baroque tragedy, he argues was distinguished from classical tragedy by its shift from myth into history.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Origin of German Tragic Drama | Walter Benjamin | Paperback | 9781859844137 | Used: Good | Back Stacks I 1770866","offer_id":49550618689688,"sku":"1770866","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61x3-GKvC3L.jpg?v=1784901884","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/origin-of-german-tragic-drama-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
