U+201CA socio-literary rebirth of classical tragedy after NietzscheU+201D. A poetical receptionstudy of the social integration of a U+2018classicalU+2019 tragic condition in German literary and dramatic texts at the beginning of the 20th-century.
This project aims to investigate the reception of the material, language- and formstructures of classical tragedy in the dramatic poetical works of the German author Paul Ernst (1866-1933). As a reaction on the contemporary society and inspired by Nietzsche, he engaged his works to create an artistic and social U+2018renaissanceU+2019 of a U+2018tragic conditionU+2019.
