Greek Tragedy
The essays in volume 25 of Yale Classical Studies were specially commissioned by the editors to provide a cross-section of contemporary approaches to the interpretation of Greek tragedy.

Greek passages are translated so this volume should be of use and interest not only to classical specialists but also to students in any literary field.
