Children of Oedipus, and Other Essays on the Imitation of Greek Tragedy, 1550–1800

Abstract

These essays deal with the uses of Greek tragedy by European playwrights between the Renaissance and the Romantic period. While the individual essays include discussions of plays, they aim at isolating the strategies of adaptation and patterns of transformation shared by the different writers as heirs to a common dramatic tradition.
