Synopsis
This book grew out of lectures on tragedy by Elder Olson delivered at Wayne State University in the spring of 1958. It is an attempt to cover the dramatic principles themselves instead of only stage-craft and play writing. The author as attempted to see tragedy, and of the whole of drama, from a point of view of the working dramatist, encapsulating the principles.
