He proposes a wide and liberal view of the trilogy as showcasing a heroic ideal with a greater unity than is usually argued. For Jenkyns the characters are sympathetic and the tragic gaze is strongly centred around an inward and emotional perception of minor as well as major characters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrilliantly argued and lucidly written, this study is set to become an influential core reading of perhaps the most influential and significant drama of the Classical world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Jenkyns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135053448X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350534483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Richard Jenkyns","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48217830785279,"sku":"9781350534483","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16c6b44a-6941-4bca-832b-e9645d426976.jpg?v=1771999728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-path-from-aulis-richard-jenkyns-9781350534483","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
