When the bad bleeds: Mantic Elements in English Renaissance Revenge Tragedy by D

Description: When the bad bleeds by Dr Imke Pannen, Uwe Baumann, Professor Dr Marion Gymnich, Professor Dr Barbara Schmidt-Haberkamp Addressing contemporaries of Shakespeare, this study interprets a representative number of revenge tragedies, among them "The Spanish Tragedy", "The White Devil" and "The Revengers Tragedy", to draw general conclusions about the use of mantic elements in this genre. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE German CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Mantic elements are manifold in the English drama of the Renaissance period: they are supernatural manifestations and have a prophetic, future-determining function within the dramatic plot which can be difficult to discern. Addressing contemporaries of Shakespeare, this study interprets a representative number of revenge tragedies, among them "The Spanish Tragedy", "The White Devil" and "The Revengers Tragedy", to draw general conclusions about the use of mantic elements in this genre. The analysis of the cultural context and the functionalisation of mantic elements in revenge tragedy of the Elizabethan, Jacobean, and Caroline era show their essential function in the construction of the plot. Mantic elements create and stimulate audience expectations. They are not only rhetoric decorum, but structural elements and convey knowledge about the genre whose fate is determined by retaliation. An interpretation of revenge tragedy is only possible if mantic providentialism is taken into account.
