Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

This 1990 book is a reading of Euripides' Hippolytos. Dr Goff approaches the play through the techniques of modern literary criticism, including deconstruction and feminism and is able to shed light on this influential text through her analysis of the language of the play.

Críticas:

"Barbara Goff offers here a new reading of Euripedes' Hippolytos, one that builds on and significantly extends earlier work on this very important play. She skillfully combines the workings of contemporary literary theory (her most obvious debts are to René Girard and Jacques Derrida) with close philological analysis. The theory she deploys enables Goff to offer very convincing readings of vexed aspects of the play." Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz, American Journal of Philology
