Opis

Lawrence's volume provides a detailed discussion and analyses of the moral awareness of major characters in Greek tragedy, focusing particularly on the characters' recognition of moral issues and crises, their ability to reflect on them, and their consciousness of doing so.

Recenzje

The project of the book is defined as an undertaking of essentially literary criticism in which the author draw[s] on philosophy when it can illuminate an issue. To this it can be added that the focus of the literary criticism is on character and characterization... given all that is discussed in this thoughtful and careful book, I can rest content with the illumination it offers and the challenges it poses on many significant matters of interpretation.
