The Music of Tragedy - Naomi A. Weiss - Bog

"Naomi Weiss offers a refreshing departure from traditional scholarship on Greek tragedy. Her close consideration of the place of music in Euripides' later tragedies makes this an important and original book." Armand D'Angour, Associate Professor of Classics, Oxford University, and author of The Greeks and the New: Novelty in Ancient Greek Imagination and Experience "This is a valuable work of scholarship that makes an important contribution to the study of Euripides and to broader questions about the development of Greek poetry. It should have a wide readership among the many scholars who are interested in these questions and will significantly advance ongoing discussions about Euripides' distinctive use of the chorus and about the scope and significance of the 'New Music.'" Sheila Murnaghan, Allen Memorial Professor of Greek, University of Pennsylvania
