Publication Date: September 2, 1971Examining the seven Euripidean tragicomdeies, this book contends that the plays' plots--compounded as they are of the opposite elements of good fortune and catastrophe--result from experimentation with a new form intended to express a characteristically Euripidean view of reality.The plays involve people scaled for comedy trying to live in a world ruled by the gods of tragedy, making efforts sometimes noble, sometimes sordid, but in the end, essentially futile.Burnett shows how Euripides manipulates tradtional scenes, diverting and frustrating the expectati...

Publication Date: December 2009| ISBN-10: 1859184383 | ISBN-13: 978-1859184387| Edition: annotated edition This anthology demonstrates that verse translation from the Irish represents, in its own right, a significant part of the tradition of Irish poetry written in English.

Within the context of recent developmen...
