This book is an advanced critical introduction to Greek tragedy. It is written specifically for the reader who does not know Greek and who may be unfamiliar with the context of the Athenian drama festival but who nevertheless wants to appreciate the plays in all their complexity. Simon Goldhill aims to combine the best contemporary scholarly criticism in classics with a wide knowledge of modern literary studies in other fields. He discusses the masterpieces of Athenian drama in the light of contemporary critical controversies in such a way as to enable the student or scholar not only to understand and appreciate the texts of the most commonly read plays, but also to evaluate and utilize the range of approaches to the problems of ancient drama. This revised edition contains a substantial new Introduction which engages with critical and scholarly developments in Greek tragedy since the original publication.

"A book on Greek tragedy may be a work of historical scholarship or of literary criticism; this book professes to be a work of criticism. Criticism is of two kinds: the critic may tell the reader what he so beautifully thinks about it all, or he may try to explain the form in which the literature is written. This book attempts the latter task. I make one basic assumption. It is that the Greek dramatist was first and last an artist, and must be criticized as such. He felt, thought and worked like a painter or a musician, not like a philosopher or teacher." [Preface] This book has been increasingly recognized as the most important modern study of the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripedes, and has overturned a good number of the received academic opinions about Greek drama.

This title was first published in 2000. This book offers a wide-ranging account of tragic drama from the Greeks to Arthur Miller. It puts forward a bold and vigorously developed argument about the recurrent concerns of tragedy, and proposes to uncover the archetypal tragic plot that emerges at key points of historical transition. It traces this plot through fascinatingly diverse formations on Athens, Renaissance England and the modern world, and offers detailed analysis of over twenty plays. The needs of the first-time reader are not forgotten, while challenging new light is thrown on each period. There is substantial discussion of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripedes, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Ibsen, Strindberg, Chekhov, Lorca and Miller, along with briefer consideration of the Senecan tradition, Yeats, Synge, O’Neill and T.S. Eliot. Felicity Rosslyn asks why tragic plays get written when they do, and why they so often dramatise the struggle to break the ties of blood for the bonds of law.

Greek tragedies were intended for spectators who were watching the play for the first time and had not read it beforehand. But they are explained and discussed by readers, who know the text from start to finish. These readers often do not pause to ask: what did the audience know at this stage of the action? The author of this study concen-trates her attention on the importance of this question. The introductory chapter is followed by an elaborate discussion of the foreknowledge of the original audience. Af-ter this discus-sion the author turns to Aeschylus' Agamemnon and argues that an interpreta-tion that is based on in-formation not yet available to the audience is, in principle, not valid. The next chapter deals with dramatic irony, since - here again - the knowledge of the original audience is the deciding factor. In the final chapter it is argued that, while the knowledge of the audience is too often neglected, their emotional response is too often considered self-evident. Many a statement on this subject is quite unwarranted.
