- W4231206279 abstract "Byron was a very special kind of dramatist — a tragic poet. A realisation of his stature as a tragic poet is essential to an understanding of his art. Because his dramas have been misunderstood and understudied, the nature of Byron’s art has been misrepresented. The tragic vision he propounds in the dramas, and particularly in that remarkable series of related tragedies which he wrote in Ravenna, is at the centre of his thought. Its bleak pessimism, balanced by a stoical affirmation of human dignity; its unflinching reluctance to accept political, ethical or theological emollients to the human predicament — revolutionary idealism, the practice of individual benevolence or civic virtue, social meliorism, the pursuit of knowledge, the hope of redemption — balanced by a genuine respect for these solutions; its acute sense of evil operating through human and superhuman agencies; of Man’s destiny being determined by hostile forces, transcendental or mundane, which cannot be resisted, but must constantly be defied; its presentation of the corrosiveness and oppressiveness of human institutions — the state, the tribe, the family — which imprison the human spirit though operated by decent men, loving fathers, benevolent angels; all these contribute to a tragic repose, a perfectly poised paradox, unique in English literature at this time. It is this which is the unifying principle of the tragedies and their most valuable contribution to English Romantic culture." @default.
