This volume collects Euripides' Andromache (translated by Susan Stewart and Wesley D. Smith), a play that challenges the concept of tragic character and transforms expectations of tragic structure; Hecuba (Janet Lembke and Kenneth J. Reckford), a powerful story of the unjustifiable sacrifice of Hecuba's daughter and the consequent destruction of Hecuba's character; Trojan Women (Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro), a particularly intense account of human suffering and uncertainty; and Rhesos (Richard Emil Braun), the story of a futile quest for knowledge. This volume retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions and adds a single combined glossary and Greek line numbers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 135mmItem Width: 19mmContributor: Peter Burian (Edited by), Alan Shapiro (Edited by)Genre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Greek Tragedy in New TranslationsItem Weight: 454gTopic: Literary CriticismAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
