For neoclassical tragedy
György Lukács's drama book
pp. 45-54
in: Tamás Demeter (ed), The sociological tradition of Hungarian philosophy, Studies in East European Thought 60, 2008.Abstract
Before he joined the Communist Party, the young György Lukács published an outstanding history of the modern drama in which he combined sociological analysis with aesthetic judgment. By doing so he called his countrymen's attention to a new and insightful approach to the study of literature. At the same time, he made a strong case for the superiority of neoclassical tragedy—largely inspired by personal experience.
