Greek Tragedy by H D F Kitto
Neither a history nor a handbook, but a penetrating work of criticism, this classic text not only records developments in the form and style of Greek drama, it also analyses the reasons for these changes.'Two things give Kitto's classic book its enduring freshness: he pioneered the approach to Greek drama through internal artistry and thematic form, and he always wrote in lively and readable English' - Oliver Taplin, University of Oxford, UK
Kitto was a well-known expert on classical Greek literature. Scholars all throughout the world regard his key work, The Greeks, as the industry standard. It has been reprinted over 30 times and translated into various languages. Kitto worked as a Greek lecturer at the University of Glasgow before becoming a professor of Greek at Bristol University from 1944 until 1962. In 1982, he passed away.
