Greek Tragedy A Literary Study

This classic work not only records developments in the form and style of Greek drama, it also analyses the reasons for these changes. It provides illuminating answers to questions that have confronted generations of students, such as: * why did Aeschylus introduce the second actor? * why did Sophocles develop character drawing? * why are some of Euripides' plots so bad and others so good? Greek Tragedyis neither a history nor a handbook, but a penetrating work of criticism which all students of literature will find suggestive and stimulating.Kitto, H.D.F. is the author of 'Greek Tragedy A Literary Study' with ISBN 9780415289641 and ISBN 0415289645.
