Reviews
"A serious and thoughtful study... Meier's nuanced account of the historical background and of the tragic festivals splendidly reconstructs the political context of early tragedy and makes this meaningful for the nonspecialist. At a time when there is a tendency to view literature solely in terms of self- referential signifying systems, Meier reminds us in detail that Greek tragedy is, among other things, a meditation on stirring and disturbing historical events at a time of extraordinary creative energy in all areas of social and political life."--Charles Segal, International Journal of the Classical Tradition

Synopsis
According to Christian Meier, one of Germany's leading classicists, a Greek tragedy cannot be considered simply a work of art or a reflection of ancient modes of thought. He argues that it is essential to understand tragedy's interaction with the practiceof Greek democracy. In The Political Art of Greek Tragedy he focuses on the works of Aeschylus to examine the close relationship between drama and politics at the beginning of the great age of Greek tragedy. "Christian Meier has produced an outstanding new account of the politics of Athenian tragedy, interpreting 'political' broadly and illuminating Athenian religious ritual and theatrical experience by a systematic and subtle use of the comparative method."--Paul Cartledge, Clare College, Cambridge.

- 0***1 (1566)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
