ISBN: 9780199217182 / Angielski / Twarda / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Barbara Goff and Michael Simpson ask why the plays of Sophocles' Theban Cycle figure so prominently among the tragedies adapted by dramatists of African descent, and how plays that dilate on the power of the past, in the inexorable curse of Oedipus and the regressive obsession of Antigone, can articulate the postcolonial moment. Capitalizing on...
