Sweet Violence The Idea of the Tragic

"SWEET VIOLENCE has all the characteristics that compel the reader, however tested and exasperated, to admire its author. It is long, discursive, packed with illustrations drawn from enormous reading in world literature, perverse and even, quite often, funny. But no one should acquire it under the impression that it is an easy read.....Tragedy...is generally held to offer truths about the human spirit, and Eagleton's aim is to say what these are."Eagleton, Terry is the author of 'Sweet Violence The Idea of the Tragic', published 2002 under ISBN 9780631233602 and ISBN 0631233601.
