Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the social and political context of Greek tragedies, this book presents an innovative analysis of Oedipus at Colonus through a semiotic theory of theatrical space. Lowell Edmunds explores how the Athenian revolution of 411 B.C.E. influenced the play's setting and themes. By examining the visual and spatial elements, he offers a fresh perspective on the work. The book also features an appendix detailing Sophocles' life and the play's reception, making it a vital resource for students and scholars of semiotics and Greek theater.
