  • Euripidean Drama

    Myth, Theme and Structure

    par Desmond Conacher ...
    Collections series Heritage
    It is a commonly held view among historians of Greek literature that with the advent of Euripides the tragic structure, even the tragic outlook of Greek drama suffered a breakdown from which it never recovered. While there is much truth in this opinion, it has tended to put too much emphasis on "Euripides the destroyer" rather than "Euripides the creator." In this study the author's main purpose ...

  • The Lost Plays of Greek Tragedy (Volume 1)

    Neglected Authors

    par Dr Matthew Wright ...
    Numerous books have been written about Greek tragedy, but almost all of them are concerned with the 32 plays that still survive. This book, by contrast, concentrates on the plays that no longer exist. Hundreds of tragedies were performed in Athens and further afield during the classical period, and even though nearly all are lost, a certain amount is known about them through fragments and other ...

  • Oscar Wilde and Ancient Greece

    par Iain Ross ...
    Collections Livre 82 - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture

  • Alcestis

    par Euripides ...
    "The Alcestis would hardly confirm its author's right to be acclaimed 'the most tragic of the poets.' It is doubtful whether one can call it a tragedy at all. Yet it remains one of the most characteristic and delightful of Euripidean dramas, as well as, by modern standards, the most easily actable. And I notice that many judges who display nothing but a fierce satisfaction in sending other plays ... En savoir plus

  • The Strangeness of Tragedy

    par Paul Hammond ...
    This book reads tragedy as a genre in which the protagonist is estranged from the world around him, and, displaced in time, space, and language, comes to inhabit a milieu which is no longer shared by other characters. This alienation from others also entails a decomposition of the integrity of the individual, which is often seen in tragedy's uncertainty about the protagonists' autonomy: do they ... En savoir plus

  • Euripides and the Politics of Form

    par Victoria Wohl ...
    Collections series Martin Classical Lectures
    How can we make sense of the innovative structure of Euripidean drama? And what political role did tragedy play in the democracy of classical Athens? These questions are usually considered to be mutually exclusive, but this book shows that they can only be properly answered together. Providing a new approach to the aesthetics and politics of Greek tragedy, Victoria Wohl argues that the poetic form ... En savoir plus

  • Guilt by Descent

    Moral Inheritance and Decision Making in Greek Tragedy

    par N. J. Sewell-Rutter ...
    Collections series Oxford Classical Monographs
    Blighted and accursed families are an inescapable feature of Greek tragedy, and many scholars have treated questions of inherited guilt, curses, and divine causation. N.J. Sewell-Rutter gives these familiar issues a fresh appraisal, arguing that tragedy is a medium that fuses the conceptual with the provoking and exciting of emotion, neither of which can be ignored if the texts are to be fully ...

It is the most often performed of all Aristophanes' comedies. It is also, perhaps, the most misunderstood. This collection of essays by eight leading academics - written for sixth-form students and ... En savoir plus
