This new full-scale edition of that classic play - the first in any language since 1883 - offers a freshly constituted text based on consultation of manuscripts ancient and mediaeval. The Introduction explores the play's dating and production, its creative engagement with pre-Sophoclean versions, its major themes, and its reception during antiquity. The Commentary offers a detailed analysis, line by line and scene by scene, of the play's language, staging, and dramatic impact. The translation incorporated into the commentary ensures that the book will be accessible to all readers interested in what is arguably the greatest Greek tragedy of all"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Oedipus the King is a central work of western literature, a play for which the term 'canonical' might have been invented; yet there has been no new critical edition of the play with introduction and detailed commentary (editio maior) in any language since 1883"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Sophocles. $t Oedipus Rex. 600 00 $a Oedipus $c (Greek mythological figure) $v Drama. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108321709 700 02 $i Container of (expression): $a Sophocles. $t Oedipus Rex. $l English $s (Finglass) 700 02 $i Container of (expression): $a Sophocles. $t Oedipus Rex. $l Greek $s (Finglass) 700 1 $a Finglass, Patrick, $d 1979- $e editor. 830 0 $a Cambridge classical texts and commentaries ; $v 57. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605010909.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3F19B000875711E9A56C064497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
