About this book

Professor of Greek at University College, Cardiff, Gilbert Norwood wrote this survey of the whole field of Greek tragedy in 1920. It is aimed at classical students and at general readers who have no Greek. The opening chapters deal with the literary history of tragedy and the Greek theatre, and a later chapter explains metre and rhythm so that students can read choruses with a sense of their form. Norwood gives special weight to dramatic structure, raising plot problems in plays such as Aeschylus's Agamemnon and Sophocles's Ajax.
