The Rhesus Attributed to Euripides
ISBN: 9781107026025 / Angielski / Twarda / 900 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The tragedy Rhesus has come down to us among the plays of Euripides but was probably the work either of fourth-century BC actors or producers heavily rewriting his original play or of a fourth-century author writing in competition. This edition explores the play as a 'postclassical' tragedy, composed when the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides had become the 'classical' canon. Its stylistic mannerisms, cerebral re-use of the motifs and language of fifth-century tragedy, and endemic experimentalism with various models of intertextuality exemplify the anxiety of influence of the Rhesus...

Guilt by Descent: Moral Inheritance and Decision Making in Greek Tragedy
ISBN: 9780199227334 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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 understood. He pays particular attention to Aeschylus' Seven against Thebes and the Phoenician Women of Euripides, both of which dramatize the sorrows of the later generations of the House of Oedipus,...

Black Odysseys explores creative works by artists of ultimately African descent, which respond to the Homeric Odyssey.

In seeking to discover why the Odyssey, as a founding text of the Western canon, has been of such interest to these artists,...

This volume includes eleven selections, which are almost evenly divided between his...
