In Brill's Companion to the Reception of Senecan Tragedy , Eric Dodson-Robinson incorporates essays by specialists working across disciplines and national literatures into a subtle narrative tracing the diverse scholarly, literary and theatrical receptions of Seneca's tragedies. The tragedies, influential throughout the Roman world well beyond Seneca's time, plunge into obscurity in Late Antiquity and nearly disappear during the Middle Ages. Profound consequences follow from the rediscovery of a dusty manuscript containing nine plays attributed to Seneca: it is seminal to both the renaissance of tragedy and the birth of Humanism. Canonical Western writers from Antiquity to the present have revisited, transformed, and eviscerated Senecan precedents to develop, in Dodson-Robinson's words, 'competing tragic visions of agency and the human place in the universe.'

Ce travail s’intéresse aux éléments permettant de rapprocher l’univers tragique sénéquien des fictions gothiques et fantastiques du point de vue de la généricité lectoriale. Les littératures gothique et fantastique reposent sur l’avènement du surnaturel et le développement d’une atmosphère cauchemardesque afin de provoquer l’effroi des lecteurs. Or, si les critiques ont depuis longtemps fait de ces éléments une des caractéristiques des pièces sénéquiennes, le rapport avec l’esthétique fantastique a rarement été étudié. La prégnance de l’onirisme macabre comme le style outrancier de Sénèque sont habituellement considérés comme un exemple du baroque néronien. Il s’agit ici de montrer que, par bien des aspects, les pièces s’avèrent plus proches, pour un lecteur moderne, de l’esthétique gothique ou fantastique que de la mouvance baroque. En effet, les tragédies mettent en scène des créatures fantastiques, des évènements troublants et sont parcourues par la topique infernale. Ces différents motifs concourent à la création d’une atmosphère cauchemardesque qui vise à stupéfier et terrifier les spectateurs. Il semble que Sénèque cherche avant tout à développer un théâtre de l’effet reposant sur une forte implication émotionnelle du public. En cela, ses pièces rejoignent les préconisations du Traité du Sublime qui invite les poètes à s’affranchir de l’idéal mimétique pour privilégier l’exploitation de la phantasia. Les descriptiones de lieux surnaturels, de fantômes hideux et de montres rappellent que le poète possède la faculté de placer sous les yeux de l’auditoire des scènes impossibles dans la réalité. Ainsi, Sénèque, en cherchant à susciter la terreur du public, recourt à de nombreuses stratégies scripturales développées plus tard par les auteurs gothiques et fantastiques. Cet intérêt le conduit à développer une nouvelle conception du tragique et à concevoir une véritable esthétique de l’horreur.

Politics and Aesthetics in European Baroque and Classicist Tragedy is a volume of essays investigating European tragedy in the seventeenth century, comparing Shakespeare, Vondel, Gryphius, Racine and several other vernacular tragedians, together with consideration of neo-Latin dramas by Jesuits and other playwrights. To what extent were similar themes, plots, structures and styles elaborated? How is difference as well as similarity to be accounted for? European drama is beginning to be considered outside of the singular vernacular frameworks in which it has been largely confined (as instanced in the conferences and volumes of essays held in the Universities of Munich and Berlin 2010-12), but up-to-date secondary material is sparse and difficult to obtain. This volume intends to help remedy that deficit by addressing the drama in a full political, religious, legal and social context, and by considering the plays as interventions in those contexts. Contributors are: Christian Biet, Jan Bloemendal, Helmer J. Helmers, Blair Hoxby, Sarah M. Knight, Tatiana Korneeva, Frans-Willem Korsten, Joel B. Lande, Russell J. Leo, Howard B. Norland, Kirill Ospovat, James A. Parente, Jr., Freya Sierhuis, Nienke Tjoelker and Emily Vasiliauskas.
