Grippingly readable, all three translations combine fidelity to the Greek with concision, clarity, and powerful, hard-edged speech. Each play features foot-of-the-page notes, stage directions, and line numbers to the Greek. Woodruff's Introduction discusses the playwright, Athenian theatre and performance, the composition of the plays, and the plots and characters of each; it also offers thoughtful reflections on major critical interpretations of these plays.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 227gTranslator: Peter Meineck, Paul WoodruffContributor: Peter Meineck (Translated by), Paul Woodruff (Translated by)Genre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Hackett ClassicsTopic: Poetry & DramaAuthor: SophoclesRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
