""This book is important--and portentous--for if it is true that tragedy is dead, we face a vital cultural loss. . . . The book is bound to start controversy. . . . The very passion and insight with which he writes about the tragedies that have moved him prove that the vision still lives and that words can still enlighten and reveal.""-R.B. Sewall, New York Times Book Review
The renowned critic here explores the history of the drama in the post-tragic era, demonstrating how the past has paralyzed the talent of latter-day playwrights.

reviewed The Death of Tragedy on February 11, 2014 The Death of Tragedy
I took advantage of my fixed immobilization forced to reread some books of Steiner. I began with real presences. Death of the tragedy is more ambitious. It is somewhere an history of the literature of the Greek until us. And particularly, he wonders about the disappearance of the tragedy as literary genre. It is for him because of the Christianity, the Marxism and the psychoanalysis. Edip who is the archetype of the tragic hero, toy of the fate, becomes at Freud the hero of a rational quest in search of cure.
Steiner puts texts in perspective. With his great erudition, he allows us to discover this end of the tragedy. The END? Not sure. Is the postmodernity propose to us a kind of new tragedy. There is new mythology. For exemple, when I see the TV series, not only game of thrones. I think in of television series Scandinavians (Swedish and Danish particularly), Israeli, English and some rare French, They are our new tragedies.
