Sophocles and the Language of Tragedy presents a revolutionary take on Sophocles' tragic language and how our understanding of tragedy is shaped by our literary past. Written by one of the best-known classicists working today, this book explores Sophocles' distinctive brilliance as a dramatist while investigating how the nineteenth-century critics developed a specific understanding of tragedy, one that has shaped our current understanding of the genre.
