This collection of essays on Athenian drama, the proceedings of a conference held at the University of Texas at Austin in 1992, demonstrates that Greek tragedy still retains its power to provoke debate and to engage the interest of specialists and non-classicists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes essays by seven of the foremost scholars of Greek drama--Helene Foley, Michelle Gellrich, Peter W. Rose, David Rosenbloom, Richard Seaford, Bernd Seidensticker, and Froma I. Zeitlin. These writers explore the work of all three great tragedians, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, and approach them from a variety of perspectives on history and theory, including poststructuralism and Marxism. They investigate the possibilities for coordinating theoretically informed readings of tragedy with a renewed attention to the pressure of material history within those texts. The collection thus represents a response within classics to \"New Historicism\" and the debates it has generated within related literary disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Goff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292728654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292728653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Barbara Goff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913559113983,"sku":"9780292728653","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_20469da8-a9f1-4913-bcd7-1b06e37a31a9.jpg?v=1680621050","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-tragedy-theory-barbara-goff-9780292728653","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
