description: This volume, the second in the series Greece &amp; Rome Studies, collects together 17 articles on Greek Tragedy published between 1972 and 1989 in the journal Greece &amp; Rome (published by Oxford University Press for the Classical Association).Greek Tragedy remains a subject of central concern, not only in Classics, English, and World Literature courses at school and university, but also in the live theatre, where new translations of the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides continue to play to capacity audiences.The articles in this volume, by leading authorities in the field, include treatments of individual plays by all three playwrights, studies of character and imagery, and, to begin with, an examination of recent critical assumptions. Those studying Greek Tragedy either in Greek or in translation will find their interests well represented.
