What reading level is English Tragicomedy Its Origin And History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The essen- tial distinction lies in the fact that in these plays, unlike the others, the action never at any time works up to a real tragic situation where life is actually imperilled. Yet the gravity of motive, serious purpose and weighty tone clearly exalt them above the level of comedy. They exemplify, then, a variation from the tempered form of the species noticed in the Fletch- erian plays, where the coalescence of tragicomedy with comedy brought little abatement in tragic situations and p...ossibilities but much in tone and spirit. Massinger had less of Fletcher's N fondness for thrilling incident and extravaganza in tragicom- / edy, with the result that some of his plays depend almost '\ wholly on a sustained seriousness of tone and purpose for \ their genre classification. Ford's contribution to tragicomedy consists in one or two plays of the same kind : notably the " Lover's Melancholy, " which is equally free from violent action and danger of death, yet interweaves a treatment of madness with the romance of love, and presents other moods and emotions of serious drama.
