{"product_id":"the-andromache-and-euripidean-tragedy-william-allan-9780198152972","title":"The Andromache and Euripidean Tragedy","description":"The \u003cem\u003eAndromache\u003c\/em\u003e has long been disparaged despite being a brilliant piece of theater. In this book Dr. Allan draws attention to the neglected artistry of this very impressive and intriguing text. Through careful analysis the \u003cem\u003eAndromache\u003c\/em\u003e emerges as a play that poses fundamental questions, especially about the polarity of Greek and barbarian, and the morality of the gods. Dr. Allan shows how the play also challenges revenge as a motive for action, and explores the role of women as wives, mothers, and victims of war, be they Greek or Trojan, victorious or defeated. These are among the central concerns that make the \u003cem\u003eAndromache\u003c\/em\u003e a moving and thought-provoking tragedy, full of suffering, suspense, and moral interest. This book contributes both to an appreciation of the \u003cem\u003eAndromache\u003c\/em\u003e in its own right, and to a wider understanding of the variety and quality of Euripides' œuvre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Allan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198152973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198152972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2001 pg. 1459","brand":"William Allan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47420205891839,"sku":"9780198152972","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e24b060-e85f-42f4-b6cf-0fe174711160.jpg?v=1761525882","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-andromache-and-euripidean-tragedy-william-allan-9780198152972","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
