Introduction: Does modern tragedy exist? -- From 1904: Synge and the nature elegy -- From 1937: Brecht and political engagement -- From 1954: Walcott, Clark and the postcolonial -- Conclusion.

Sammanfattning: "Partly motivated by the urgency of our current situation in an age of ecocidal crisis, Modern Tragedy encompasses a variety of drama from throughout the 20th century. James Moran begins this book with John Millington Synge's Riders to the Sea (1904), which shows how environmental awareness might be expressed through tragic drama. Moran also looks at Brecht's reworking of Synge's drama in the 1937 play Señora Carrar's Rifles, and situates Brecht's script in the light of the theatre practitioner's broader ideas about tragedy. Brecht's tragic thinking – informed by Hegel and Marx – is contrasted with the Schopenhauerian approach of Samuel Beckett."[Bokinfo]
