- Double-weighted statement
- This book (120,000 words) is the only one of its kind. It aims to produce a paradigm shift in the way tragedy is studied by shifting the focus away from fifth-century Athens and the three best-known tragedians. It rewrites literary history by concentrating on more than eighty neglected Greek tragedians, questioning ideas of canonicity and the ?classic?, and fundamentally re-examining the whole tragic genre. It collects and synthesizes a large body of obscure material, it proposes a new methodology for reading fragmentary texts, and it incorporates the first ever English translation of these fragments.
