Two Tragedies

This Bloomsbury Academic Collection consists of a range of classic titles in Shakespeare studies from our prestigious imprints Continuum, Sheffield Academic Press and The Athlone Press.

Antoine de Montchrestien’s tragedies have been the object of increased critical attention over the years. This annotated edition makes two of his most interesting plays available – Hector, often recognised as one of the masterpieces of French regular rhetorical tragedy, and La Reine d’Escosse, a showcase of Montchrestien’s concept of tragedy.
