Tragic Politics: Drama and the City in Early Modern Europe

A transnational account of the relationship between tragedy and the city in early modern Europe written from the perspective of three different theatrical cultures: that of early modern Italy, early modern England, and early modern Ragusa. Starting with the neo-Latin play entitled Ecerinis, by Albertino Mussato, which marked the beginning of the modern tragic genre, the article turns to two significant engagements with the classical dramatic tradition in the European borderlands, especially with regard to their dialogue with Italian drama: the productions of Gorboduc and Jocasta at the London Inns of Court and the dramatic and political career of Marin Držić, a mid-sixteenth-century Ragusan playwright.
