![]() In the seventeenth module, we return to Modernism by thinking about the works of Lorca and Beckett, before moving on in the eighteenth module to look at tragedy in film and television. In the fifteenth module, we think about the tragedy and Modernism, looking in particular at the plays of Bertolt Brecht and novels of William Faulkner, before turning in the sixteenth module to think about how tragedy has represented the Sho'ah, i.e. In the thirteenth module, we think about tragedy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, looking especially at the work of Henrik Ibsen, before moving on in the fourteenth module to think about the relationship between tragedy and war – especially the First World War (1914-18). ![]() In the eleventh and twelfth modules, we think about the impact on tragedy of first a new medium – the novel – and then a new technology – the camera. After that, in the ninth module, we think the Restoration Tragedy of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, before moving on in the tenth module to consider the intersection between tragedy and Romanticism – looking especially at works of Lessing, Schiller, Goethe and Kleist. In the fifth module, we think about how the arrival of Christianity of Europe may have impacted people's views of tragedy in the Middle Ages, before turning in the sixth, seventh and eighth modules to the tragedy of the Renaissance period – including Shakespeare, Marlowe, Kyd, Marston, Webster. In the first three modules, we think about the tragedy of Classical Athens, looking in particular at the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, before turning in the fourth module to Roman tragedy and Seneca the Younger. In this course, Professor John Lennard explores the history of tragedy from its origins in ancient Athens to the present day. – Hercules Furens, or the Madness of Herucles In the second half of the module, we turn to the work of the single surviving Roman tragedian – Seneca – whose plays establish a number of the long-standing conventions of the tragic genre. Until Nelson can prove it, we’ll just have to check out what we’ve got thus far.In this module, we think about Roman theatre, focusing in particular on the relative paucity of surviving tragedy, and the possibility that the spectacle of tragic theatre was overshadowed by the other spectacular entertainments available to the Romans in the form of chariot-racing, athletics, and gladiatorial combat. Although early NASCAR racers found the second-generation’s speed threshold at about 160mph, Nelson vows a potential 200mph in its current form (and up to 260mph with the planned aero package). “I have rounded up some of the very best metal craftsman in the country to work on this car.” With comically oversized 9.4L Hemi producing 2,000 horsepower, Maximus is (theoretically) capable of 0-60 in about 2-seconds flat and an 8-second ¼-mile pass. “I have to give credit to my crew,” Nelson said. The crew at NRE dedicated over 2,000-plus-hours to blend this seamless machine into one flawless piece. ![]() The hood forgoes the factory scallops and instead incorporates the familiar cowl bulge of a ’70 Road Runner. Gone is the unibody front clip, K-member, torsion bar suspension, factory firewall and so forth. Inside the engine compartment is entirely unique to Maximus. Of course the bumpers have been carefully trimmed and reshaped to fit the fenders better, the seamlines have all vanished, the rear valance flawlessly marries into the quarters and decklid, and so on. ![]() The whole car has been expanded 6-inches in total width. So what’s the connection? That Charger’s name is “Maximus” and that all-aluminum 572 is sitting beneath its hood.Īt first glance, the ’68 Charger doesn’t look terribly modified apart from clearly some expanded wheel tubs and a roll cage. Likewise, we also recently walked you through all of the various incarnations of Dom Torreto’s ’70 Dodge Charger, the last of which (featured in this summer’s seventh “Fast & Furious film) was a bare-naked ’68 Charger. Regardless of the 4-digit horsepower number, the NRE Hemi is surprisingly street-worthy thanks to tireless hours spent testing and tuning the twin-turbo, multi-point injection setup. It was less than a month ago that we introduced you to Nelson Racing Engine’s absolutely bonkers 1600HP 572ci twin-turbo Hemi.
