Poetic Justice In The Drama is a book written by Michael A. Quinlan in 1912. The book is a study of the use and importance of poetic justice in dramatic literature. Poetic justice is a literary device where virtue is rewarded and vice is punished, often through a twist of fate or coincidence. Quinlan explores the origins of poetic justice in ancient Greek drama and its evolution through Shakespearean and modern plays. He argues that poetic justice is not only a satisfying element for audiences but also serves a moral purpose by reinforcing societal values. The book includes examples from famous plays such as Oedipus Rex, Hamlet, and Macbeth, as well as lesser-known works. Quinlan's analysis provides a deeper understanding of the role of poetic justice in dramatic storytelling and its enduring appeal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
