It is a truth universally acknowledged that tragedy is one of the world's highest art forms, and that Shakespeare was one of the form's greatest practitioners. But how did he do it? What models did he have to draw upon, and where did he innovate? In this episode, Jacke talks to Shakespeare scholar Rhodri Lewis about his new book Shakespeare's Tragic Art, a new account of Shakespearean tragedy as a response to life in an uncertain world. PLUS Joel Warner (The Curse of the Marquis de Sade: A Notorious Scoundrel, a Mythical Manuscript, and the Biggest Scandal in Literary History) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.

Additional listening:

  • 518 The Curse of the Marquis de Sade (with Joel Warner)
  • 548 Shakespeare in a Divided America (with James Shapiro)
  • Shakespeare's Best | Sonnet 116 ("Let me not to the marriage of true minds")

The music in this episode is by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal. Learn more at gabrielruizbernal.com.
