The Tragic Vision

More about the book

Murray Krieger explores the distinction between "tragic vision" and "tragedy," arguing that the latter refers to literary form while the former pertains to a subject's psychological perspective. He aims to define tragic vision in a way that resonates with modern literature and thought. Krieger suggests that the contemporary protagonist should be seen as a "tragic visionary," reflecting a shift in how tragedy is perceived in the modern context, where the holistic view of tragedy has diminished.
