About “The Birth of Tragedy”

An 1872 essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, his first book, driven by his enthusiasm for Greek tragedy, the philosophy of Schopenhauer, and the music of Wagner, to whom the work was dedicated. It contrasts the Apolline force of beauty and order with the Dionysiac force of ecstatic response to the sublime.
