Few ancient authors are as challenging as Euripides, and few have provoked so many diverse critical opinions through the ages: Aristotle described him as ''most tragic'', and yet many of his plays have been condemned by critics as barely qualifying as ''proper'' tragedies at all. In general he has enjoyed a revival in reputation over the last few decades: his manipulation of convention and the skill of his dramaturgy are perhaps more widely admired now than at any time since the Renaissance. Moreover, his exploration of the emotions of the marginalized sections of Athenian society - women, slaves, foreigners - has given his work strong contemporary resonances. This volume aims to bring together for students some classic essays illustrating the main strands of Euripidean criticism over the last forty years. Two of the essays are translated here for the first time, and many others have been revised by their authors. All Greek has been translated.
Industry Reviews
This is an excellent volume in a prestigious series, and it will certainly have an impact on Euripidean studies. Judith Mossman has shown great wisdom in her selection of articles ... It will prove extraordinarily convenient both for teachers and students to have access to them all in a single volume. The Anglo-Hellenic Review Mossman's Introduction is a model of literary sensibility, concision, elegance, and erudition, the product of many years' immersion in Euripides and his interpreters. Her book is a compulsory purchase for any school or college library. The Anglo-Hellenic Review
