Abstract

Late-sixteenth-century and early-seventeenth-century Netherlandish literature witnessed what may be called an ethical turn. In this essay, a tragedy by the Antwerp playwright Willem van Nieulandt (1584â1635), Claudius Domitius Nero, is being analysed as a spectacle of various emotions, to be perceived, processed, and evaluated for moral betterment. Although Nero is of the Neo-Senecan sort, meaning that several characters are driven by â and consequently exhibit â excessive emotions, it nevertheless advocates a conditionally positive attitude towards them, depending on their capacity to incite the characters â as well as the audience â to possess virtuous behaviour. A key quality in this respect was empathy and the ability to become empathically engaged. Tragedy was supposed to spark a process of moral discernment in the spectators.
