Description
Greek Tragedy: A Literary Study by Humphrey Davy Findley Kitto This study of Greek tragedy explores the artistic and literary brilliance of the ancient dramatists, arguing that understanding their tragic conception is key to grasping classical Greek drama. Kitto examines the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, including their most famous plays. Through a close analysis of these plays, Kitto reveals the moral and intellectual questions that underpin them, while also highlighting the artistic skill and literary merit of the dramatists. This edition includes a new foreword by Edith Hall, providing fresh insights into the enduring power of classical Greek tragedy. First published in 1936, this Routledge Classics edition offers a valuable introduction to the subject for both students and scholars.
