Abstract

In this study Henry Ansgar Kelly proposes Geoffrey Chaucer as the inventor of modern tragedy: Chaucer defined it and produced a memorable example of it in Troilus and Criseyde; his lead was followed by later authors, and it was his notion of tragedy that was dominant in the age of Shakespeare, rather than any classical or neo-Aristotelian ideas.
