Description This book offers a radically new theory and method for understanding Attic tragedy, drawing on Aristotle's theories of shock and horror while taking a new anthropological approach.
Synn ve des Bouvrie argues that engagement with the prescribed sentiments of tragic drama mobilized the fifth-century Greek community into both preserving and revitalizing their societal order.
Though she focuses in particular on Euripides, Des Bouvrie also mounts a convincing case that oth.
