Tragédie grecque et mélodrame italien

No ratings yet

This comparative study highlights the convergence of the political, social and cultural situation of two ethnic entities remote in time, although indissolubly linked: archaic Greece and remanent Italy after the fall of Rome. Moved both by the retrospective appetite for a recovered unity, they offer to the West a superabundant flowering of works of art that sum up two pivots: the Greek tragedy and the Italian melodrama. It is precisely to the development of the latter that this work is attached, from the origins to the shores of modernity.
