Nietzsche and the Rebirth of the Tragic is a collection of essays on the legacy of Nietzsche's thought on tragedy. The underlining topic of all contributions is the influence of the Nietzschean call for the rebirth of tragedy in modern artistic and philosophical creations. The volume offers a rich overview of the impact of Nietzsche's conception of tragic and cultural renewal in the works of European and American dramatists, poets, philosophers, filmmakers and writers.

The general intention of the volume is widely fulfilled showing the variety of the effects Nietzsche had and continues to have over different artists of different countries working with different artistic means.
