Between them these authors wrote around two hundred tragedies, the fragmentary remains of which are utterly fascinating. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this, the second volume of a major new survey of the tragic genre, Matthew Wright offers an authoritative critical guide to the lost plays of the three best-known tragedians. (The other Greek tragedians and their work are discussed in \u003ci\u003eVolume 1: Neglected Authors\u003c\/i\u003e.) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What can we learn about the lost plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides from fragments and other types of evidence? How can we develop strategies or methodologies for 'reading' lost plays? Why were certain plays preserved and transmitted while others disappeared from view? Would we have a different impression of the work of these classic authors - or of Greek tragedy as a whole - if a different selection of plays had survived? This book answers such questions through a detailed study of the fragments in their historical and literary context. Making use of recent scholarly developments and new editions of the fragments, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Plays of Greek Tragedy \u003c\/i\u003emakes these works fully accessible for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474276474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474276474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Matthew Wright","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896714060031,"sku":"9781474276474","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_648c9b83-69ab-4548-9982-834cee725bf4.jpg?v=1721372134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lost-plays-of-greek-matthew-wright-9781474276474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
