Martin lings and theatre: toward a Poetics of mystic dram

Abstract

AbstractMartin lings as one of the most important thinkers of late traditionalism, is the extender and completer of its predecessors and analyses some undeveloped spheres of the tradition; one of these spheres is the dram and dramatic literature.Before Lings, there were hardly any attention to the dram as a sacred art and so after him; great traditionalists as Genon, Schuon and Coomaraswamy paid attention to literature but not to dramatic literature; and he is from this point of view, in most part, unique in traditionalism. He attempts in "Shakespeare in the light of sacred art' to prepare necessary grounds for a sacred reading- read proper reading -of Shakespeare texts and to show practical and theoretical necessities of such texts.So " Martin lings and theatre: toward a Poetics of mystic dram" will be an attempt to show dimensions and implications for reading dramas with mystic themes. Key words: Martin lings, mystic dram, traditionalism, art.
