Kerr Rethinks the Old Attitudes on Tragedy and Comedy
Walter Kerr, best known as a New York theatre critic, reexamines tragedy and comedy in a scholarly yet witty volume. He contrasts classical and modern interpretations, cites Steiner Styan and Williams, and argues tragedy remains fertile ground. The study traces Greek heroism, Renaissance thought, and Darwinian shifts, then links comedy to tragedy through interdependence, though film examples sometimes overreach and limit appeal.
