Sophocles (Routledge Revivals): The Classical Heritage

By Roger D. Dawe

Book Overview

Sophocles: The Classical Heritage, first published in 1996, contains a diverse collection of reflectionS, ranging from the 16th century to the 20th, on one of the three great Attic tragedians. Each essay explores a theme or concept derived from the Sophoclean tragic vision which is still of relevance today: the linguistic challenges of translation, the psychology of Sigmund Freud, Enlightenment critiques, the history of performance conventions, dramatic structure and technique, and issues facing the modern director.
