Tragedy in crisis

Classical tragedy at the apex of literary genresSeventeenth-century theatre: Racine and CorneilleLa règle des trois unités: time, place, action‘Qu’en un lieu, qu’en un jour, un seul fait accompli /

Tienne jusqu’à la fin le théâtre rempli’ (Boileau)La règle de bienséance: no physical intimacy or

violence‘Ce qu’on ne doit point voir, qu’un récit nous

l’expose:/ les yeux en le voyant saisiront mieux la chose;/ Mais il est des objets que l’art judicieux / Doit offrir à l’oreille et reculer des yeux’ (Boileau)
