Annotation Plutarch (Plutarchus), ca. 45Â-120 CE, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned. Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular have always been the 46 Parallel Lives, biographies planned to be ethical examples in pairs (in each pair, one Greek figure and one similar Roman), though the last four lives are single. All are invaluable sources of our knowledge of the lives and characters of Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers and orators. Plutarch's many other varied extant works, about 60 in number, are known as Moralia or Moral Essays. They are of high literary value, besides being of great use to people interested in philosophy, ethics and religion. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the Lives is in eleven volumes.

Dans l'histoire du théâtre européen depuis Shakespeare, deux tendances opposées ne cessent de se manifester: l'une privilégie la forme fermée, rigoureusement structurée, " tectonique " ; l'autre promeut une forme ouverte, libre, " atectonique ", qui tend vers la dissolution de la structure dramatique. Reprenant les catégories de " forme ouverte " et de " forme fermée " établies par Heinrich Wölfflin dans son ouvrage Les Concepts fondamentaux de l'histoire de l'art, Volker Klotz construit un modèle théorique pour l'analyse des pièces de théâtre selon leurs éléments constitutifs : action, temps, lieu, personnages, composition, langage. Ressortissent au " type idéal " de la forme fermée - c'est-à-dire " classique " - les pièces de Racine, de Goethe et de Schiller. Et sont particulièrement représentatives du " type idéal " de la forme ouverte, celles de Lenz, de Büchner, de Grabbe, de Wedekind, de Brecht. Mais l'étude s'intéresse aussi, bien entendu, aux nombreux cas de " forme mixte ". Loin de considérer ces formes-types de la dramaturgie comme des entités platoniciennes, l'auteur s'attache à montrer que ce sont " des tendances tout à la fois permanentes et sujettes à variation à travers l'histoire ". Un grand classique de la dramaturgie, qui combine une réflexion théorique exigeante et' la proposition d'une méthode, extrêmement précise, d'analyse des textes de théâtre.

The idea of the tragic has permeated Western culture for millennia, being closely bound with the concept of the limit of inescapable necessity that has been embodied in and expressed through theatre since the time of the ancient Greeks. This book addresses the question of how the twentieth century - one of the most violent periods of human history - dealt with the fundamental structure that is the tragic. Examining the consciousness of the era through an in-depth analysis of some of the twentieth century's most outstanding texts - including works by Ibsen, Claudel, O'Neill, Brecht, Camus, Beckett, Pasolini, Grotowski, Delcuvellerie and Josse De Pauw - 'Modern European Tragedy' draws a vivid picture of the development that tragedy experienced during this time.
