Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This classic work not only records developments in the form and style of Greek drama, it also analyses the reasons for these changes. It provides illuminating answers to questions that have confronted generations of students, such as:
* why did Aeschylus introduce the second actor?
* why did Sophocles develop character drawing?
* why are some of Euripides' plots so bad and others so good?
Greek Tragedy is neither a history nor a handbook, but a penetrating work of criticism which all students of literature will find suggestive and stimulating.

Rated by buyers -
Kitto has incredible insight into the meaning of Aeschylus', Sophocles' and Euripides' drama, which shows on every page of the book. Where other authors come to the drama with their own agendas, and then ignore or make excuses for anything in the plays which interferes with their "brilliant" analyses, Kitto develops analyses which address all important elements of virtually every extant play.
