Tragic Agency in Classical Drama from Aeschylus to Voltaire

Beschreibung

Are we free agents? This perennial question is addressed by tragedy when it dramatizes the struggle of individuals with supernatural forces, or maps the inner conflict of a mind divided against itself. The book discusses plays from classical Greece to neo-classical France.
