Book Description
Excerpt from School Lectures on the Electra of Sophocles and Macbeth What I mean is soon said. Boys are entrusted to us that we may make them fit to do their duty in life; and, in the first place, we teach them generally not to work, but to play; or at least we allow play to assume that position in their thoughts which properly belongs to work; and secondly, their minds are filled at school with ideas which, if they are to be true men, they must unlearn.

Sophocles and the Language of Tragedy
Author: Simon GoldhillPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199978824
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Written by one of the best-known interpreters of classical literature today, Sophocles and the Language of Tragedy presents a revolutionary take on the work of this great classical playwright and on how our understanding of tragedy has been shaped by our literary past. Simon Goldhill sheds new light on Sophocles' distinctive brilliance as a dramatist, illuminating such aspects of his work as his manipulation of irony, his construction of dialogue, and his deployment of the actors and the chorus. Goldhill also investigates how nineteenth-century critics like Hegel, Nietzsche, and Wagner developed a specific understanding of tragedy, one that has shaped our current approach to the genre. Finally, Goldhill addresses one of the foundational questions of literary criticism: how historically self-conscious should a reading of Greek tragedy be? The result is an invigorating and exciting new interpretation of the most canonical of Western authors.
